Note the address. rity of 572 ; so that it may be said that this district decided the question. The French counties of Resti- gouche and Northumberland recorded 2,889 votes in favour of Confederation, not one against—another act which deserves to be taken into consideration by all who would truly understand the state of public opinion in New Brunswick. In addition to the personal influences brought to bear against a party that had enjoyed power and place for so long a period, the Irish Roman Catholic vote because irre- sistible. This party acted in a solid phalanx and opposed Confederation, not altogether on the merits, but for the always satisfactory reason to Irish Americans, that it found favour with the British Government. The arguments brought to bear upon the masses who recorded their votes against Mr. Tilley's Ministry by no means went to the root of the question, refrained to touch it per se, and were mainly confined to attacks against its presumed tendency to increase taxation. It was alleged that the scheme was projected in the interest of Canada, that had a large and yearly-increasing debt, that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and hoped to avert the catastrophe by making the Maritime Provinces sharers in its indebtedness. It was furthermore argued that New Brunswick would become a mere appendage to the larger and more populous colony, and that its public men would have small chance in the race for office against the Canadians, who, if the principle of representation by population (familiarly called " Rep. by Pop.") were adopted, would be " Tritons among the minnows," and swallow up every office in the gift either of the Crown or the people.,, Another party, professing hearty allegiance to the British Crown, affected to deny the loyalty of the Upper Canadians, if not of the Lower, and asserted that the Quebec project was but a cun ningly-devised manoeuvre to expedite annexation to the United States, organised at Washington, and subsidised by Federal secret service money. But still more powerful as an argument was the use made of the 64th article of the resolutions adopted by the Conference at Quebec on the 10th of October, 1864. By this it was stipulated that in consideration of the transfer to the general Go vernment of the powers of taxation, an annual grant should be made to each Province equal to 80 cents per head of the population, as established by the Census of 1861 ; such grant or aid to be in 'ull settlement of all future demands upon the gene- ral Government for local purposes. By this arrange ment New Brunswick, of which the population by the census was 252,047, would receive a yearly sum of $201,637, or £40,325, in perpetuity, out of which she would have to defray, even though her popula tion should be doubled or trebled, the whole expen diture for roads, bridges, public schools, and other items previously chargeable to the general revenues of the province. This was considered a great hard- ship and injustice, and the agitators against con federation took full advantage of it. The people of New Brunswick forgot, however, that in other free countries, such as the United States, roads, bridges, and public schools are not maintained out of import duties on foreign manufactures, but are provided for by special rates, assessed upon them selves by the various localities to be benefited, and that in reality New Brunswick had started upon a false system, and ought in justice to herself and her foreign customers to meet such charges by direct assessment. To stop the further progress of New Brunswick and the British North American Colonies in this wrong direction, it was wisely agreed at Quebec to limit such expenditure out of the general revenues of the Confederation to the sum to which it now stands, and equal for all of the colonies to a rate of 80 cents per head, leaving it to each colony whose growth in wealth and population may hereafter render necessary a larger outlay to pro vide for the excess by a local rate upon the pro perty of the parishes and districts to be benefited. But the New Brunswickers were alike too igno rant of taxation and too impatient and intolerant of its presumed effects to look' with favour upon any project, however equitable, that was likely to impose a pecuniary burden. Thix was nne of the main sources of the outcry against confederation, and exercised great influence upon the minds of all, who, for other reasons, were predisposed to be hostile. The argument is still used with undimi nished pertinacity by those who think it worthy of the occasion, or who have such little knowledge of the true principles of taxation, as tending to the development of the resources of a people, as to think such misapplication of important duties to be either desirable or profitable. New Brunswick requires an extension of trade with the whole world ; but in order to keep up her schools, her roads, and her bridges, without a special tax for that purpose, she places, and, if these arguments should prevail, would continue to place, by means of her present high tariff, an impediment in the way of her commercial intercourse with Great Britain, France, and Brazil, upon whose manufactures and commodities she mainly relies for a revenue. It appears, however, from a variety of indications, that the people, though so short a time has elapsed since they gave their decision, not by a very signal majority, in favour of remaining as they are, have taken counsel of their sober second thought, and that there is a very serious misgiving on the part even of the men in power, whether if the Parliament were again dissolved within the next six months to give the province a second opportunity, either of putting itself in unison with the British Government or of declaring itself more emphatically than before on the subject of confederation, it would not reverse its previous vote. It is alleged by the friends of Confederation that were a vacancy to be caused at this moment in the representation either of the county or city of St. John, in consequence of the appointment to a paid office of any one of the sitting members, the Con federates would start the late Premier, Mr. Tilley, to contest the seat, and that they would carry it, notwithstanding the combined hostility of the Irish Roman Catholics and of all other possible opponents. En resume of the question as affecting New Bruns wick, it would appear as if the whole of the educated, professional, and commercial classes, with the ex ception of those whose only chance of political power rests upon the Irish vote, are in favour of the grand idea of confederation, and that the masses of the people in the rural districts do not object to it, per se, but are afraid that if carried it will cost too much money. If there be one thing more cha racteristic than another of the European colonist in British America, whether in New Brunswick or the Canadas, it is his selfish dislike of taxation. He loves liberty, but objects to pay for its insurance. He would be free to the end of time under the benign protection of the: British Government, but as soon as he is asked to put his hand in his pocket to pay for the 'blessing, as he would have had to do if he had remained at home, he begins to grumble and bluster and talk of annexation to the United States, Perhaps, however, this idle threat will become still idler after the United States shall have felt, as they have not yet done, the fullweight of the burden of taxation which they have incurred for indulgence in the luxury of Southern subjuga tion ; and the British colonist and the French habi tant will reflect, if they have not fl re ected already, that it will be better to pay two or three dollars a head for confederation than ten or twenty for an nexation. Such, however, are the present differ ences of opinion in New Brunswick as well as in Canada (of Nova Scotia I cannot yet speak) on this great subject, and the multiplicity of hostile and in consistent arguments that are heard, not so much against the idea as against the details, that the inquiry forces itself upon the mind whether the birth or the destruction of a nation is the more difficult, and whether, if the people of the seven kingdoms of the Ileptarchy had been allowed to decide for themselves whether they would unite their fortunes under one head, as those of the British American Provinces are now called upon to do, the question _would not have remained- in Conductor, Mr. F.

The British American Provinces• (From the Times Special Correspondent). ST. JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK, SEPT. 1.5. The Province of New Brunswick is as large as Ireland, and more highly favoured by nature in soil and climate. It contains an area of 17,000,000 of acres, 12,000,000 of which are fit for agriculture. but of which little more than 1,500,000 have been brought under the plough. The remainder is covered with the aboriginal forest, through which the wolves ani bears prowl, unmolested save by an occasional sportsman or officer of the British garri son from St. John or Fredericton, or by the back woodsman, when, driven by hunger, they approach too near the farms. Under the axe of the lumberman and by the operation of the accidental or wilful fires in the wilderness, to which all the densely wooded regions of the American Continent are exposed, the area of cleared land is annually extended, though at a ratio much less rapid than in any other part of the Atlantic section of British America, the ter- ritory of the Hudson's Bay Company excepted. The population as yet scarcely numbers 280,000, or little more, than half that of the_ borough of Mary lebone, or the city isf Glasgow, though larger than that of the whole of British ..kmerica, the Canadas included, when Great Britain first recognised the independence of the United States. Its resources and capabilities of mine, forest, fishery, and land are such that nothing is wanted but men to develope them, and to raise the colony to arank among the nations of the earth superior to that occupied by Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, or Greece. Unfortunately the great stream of emigration does not flow upon its shores. The German and Irish swarms that annually quit their native Europe to seek new homes and more propitious fortune in the Western world know little or nothing of New Brunswick. As the rivers run to the sea that is full enough Without their tribute, so the tide of emi gration pours into the United States, and all efforts of the outlying portions of British America to divert a portion of the current are but scantily rewarded. New Brunswick has, it is true, received a share of the Irish, though not of the Teutonic immigration, sufficient to aid in the rough work of a new country, sufficient, also, to add a disturbing element to its politics, and to foster that sentiment of hostility to the British Government which always seems to ani mate a majority of the Irish Roman Catholics in America, but not sufficient to leaven to any great extent the Anglo-Saxon character of the mass of the people, or impair their love for their old home or their loyalty to the Sovereign. The descendants of the first French colonists of " Acadie," as this and the contiguous territories of Maine and Nova Scotia were originally called, are numerous in the county of Restigouche and all that portion of the colony which borders on Canada and the western shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Elsewhere Scotchmen and the descendants of Scotchmen seem to form a majority of the population. The English and United Empire Loyalists are next in importance, and after them the Irish—while but few Americans, Norwegians, and Germans, are found to impress that cosmopolitan character upon the people which arrests the attention of the traveller in New York and the central and western States of the Union. Among this little but busy and enterprising com he otherquestion Maritime Confederation Provinces, w i with originatingC ana in r tth i y t c e an necessities an d m A a n u m d n e i interests, but warmly ap proved by the British Government, excites animated, if n discussion. Whatever may be the present a Canada, none exists in New apathy Brunswick. Oil the contrary, the subject is the all engrossing topic of conv ersa ti on , i n w hi c h every man epeaking the English langua ge f ee l s himself i n t er ested, and on which he thinks hi ms elf compe tent to form an opinion and to pass a judgment. Here all men are politicians, the backwoodsman not excepted, and treat public questions with an amount of ex cathedra authority which in the British Isles is only exhibited in town councils and parish vestries, or perhaps in the meetings of the tailors of Tooley street. Divided into the three sections of the French, the Anglo-Saxon, and the Irish, it may be said that the first are ignorant or indifferent, the second fa vourable to the principle, though not perhaps to all the details, and the third almost entirely hostile. In 1864 the Ministry of Mr. Tilley, which had held office for ten years and conducted public affairs with much ability and success, somewhat prematurely ap pealed to the country on the question of Confede ration, which had not been sufficiently debated or understood at the time, and were defeated, osten sibly on anti-Confederation principles, but mainly on personal grounds, in which a miserable question of the value of the Governor's salary in the currency of New Brunswick was largely int erm i ng l e d. Th e majority by which Mr. Tilley was defeated, and Mr. Albert J. Smith, the present Premier, raised to power, was not very formidable ; the numbers being —for Confederation,ls,492 ; and against it, 15,947, a difference of only 455 votes. The city and county of St. John, the most populous part of the Province, and most thickly inhabited by the Irish, gave 3,156 for Confederation, and 3,728 against—or a majo- --C-<_-- cv PRICE 4d.

Perhaps, however, when the people of the provinces become convinced that they cannot remain as they are, and that the only alter natives before them are annexation to the States or confederation, the question will enter upon a new phase, and their unmistakable attachment to the British Crown will expedite a decision which, in the present circumstances of the North American con tinent, cannot be delayed without serious peril. Ship Canal between the Saint Lawrence and Hudson Rivers. - 4t!- - Now that, the war being concluded, the interests of commerce are once more claiming their old as cendancy in the minds of the citizens of the United States, it is natural that increased attention should be given to the means and instrumentalities of com merce, and among them to those permanent works which facilitate intercourse between different sec tions of the Republic, or connect its territory with that of its neighbours. Some of the greatest of these works, such as the overland road from New York to San Francisco, have seemed so necessary to the welfare of the Union, that they have been energetically prosecuted to completion amidst the distractions of war. Others, less pressing, will now claim the attention which they could not before command. At the Commercial Convention held at Detroit last July, where the common interests of Canada and the frontier States of the Union were peculiarly the subjects of discussion, much attention was given to the state of the water communications between the prolific and enterprising States of the North-West and the Eastern States by way of Canada. It is universally agreed that the former regions must rapidly increase in importance, and that no works the execution of which is within the means of the respective Governments are likely to be in excess of the traffic which will require carriage. Among the projects laid before the convention was one brought forward by Mr. T. De Witt Bloodgood, one of the delegates from the New York Chamber of Commerce, in favour of the construction of a ship canal between the St. Lawrence and Hudson rivers, a plan which the author has since more fully described and advocated in an independent publica tion. Mr. Bloodgood proposes to accomplish that object by bringing Lake Champlain into the com mercial system of the lakes in such a manner that it shall bear to the St. Lawrence river and Lake Ontario the same relation that Erie does to the Huron. The idea of uniting the St. Lawrence and the Hudson, and so making it possible for the magnificent craft which now ply on the great Lakes to pursue their voyage to the harbour and city of New York, is not a new one, eminent engineers, both of Canada and the United States, having demonstrated its practicability to the satisfaction of the public. A glance at the map shows Lake Champlain lying for the most part between the States of Vermont and New York, and extending for four miles into Ca nada. It has a ship navigation of 125 miles, but is at present isolated, as far as the greater purposes of commerce are concerned, by slight natural barriers. There is at present a continuous water communi cation of limited capacity, the advantages of which are fully appreciated. At the north, that is to say in Canada, there is the Canal of Chamblee, and at the south the Canal of Champlain unites the lake and the Hudson river, so that it is already prac ticable for a vessel of 120 tons to clear from Chicago or Sarnia, or Detroit, and reach the Hudson river without moving its cargo. The connection is thus made out :—The waters of the lakes flow into and join the St. Lawrence at Sorel, 57 miles from St. John. The Champlain canal connects its waters with the Richelieu river 33 miles from its outlet, which admits the passage of vessels of from 350 to 400 tons, drawing between six and seven feet of water—and to make it navigable for vessels draw ing 12 fit win only b.. necessary to raise the pre -c....trb look and darn at St. Ours to a height. Canadians, particularly the merchants and public authorities of Montreal, have long under stood this subject, and have for many years endea voured to warm it into life. In 1849, at their in stance, a convention was held at Saratoga Springs, in the State of New York, at which the plan was fully endorsed of constructing a ship canal of the character alluded to. Still later, in 1855, the then Canadian Commis sioner of Public Works, Mr. Chabot, under autho rity from the Executive Council, approved by the Governor-General in Council, prepared instructions for new surveys of routes between the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain by an experienced and skilful American engineer, Mr. John B. Jervis, well known in the State of New York for his connection with the Erie canal, and subsequently with the Croton aqueduct. His report established the fact that a ship canal between St. Lawrence and the lake was practicable at a moderate expense by several routes. While the route of theChamblee, even to the unpro fessional observer, is evidently an easy one, others, especially that known as the Caughnawaga, were surveyed. The total lockage of the former is but 74 feet ; the latter, more generally regarded as the best of any ship canal, entering the river St. Law rence near the foot of Lake Louis, and using portion of the enlarged Chamblee, requires about eight locks each of a moderate lift of about 12 feet. The report of Mr. Jervis was verified in 1852 by that of Mr. Swift, a Canadian engineer, according to which the enlargement of the present canal, or the construction of a new one adequate to the navigation of vessels of from five hundred to seven hundred tons, would cost from two to four millions of dollars. Thus the Canadian part of the enterprise is of moderate dimensions, is well under stood, and requires little capital for its execution. Next, as regards the shalt of the United States in this work, Lake Champlain is so safe of navigation as to be considered, in the calculation of the en gineer, part of the canal itself. Between the lake and the Hudson river is the existing Champlain canal, admitted to be too small even for the local trade, and calling for enlargement at the hands of the State. Four years ago, on the breaking out of the rebellion, the practicability of enlarging the Champlain, so as to permit the passage of gun boats, was discussed in the legislature of New York, and the State engineer, Mr. W. B. Taylor, was directed to make a report on the subject. This canal, about sixty-six miles in length, ascends 54 feet from the lake to the summit level, and 125 feet thence to the Hudson river. The en gineer reported that the expense of changing it into a ship canal for gunboats 150 feet in length and 25 feet beam, and Bft. draught, would be $3,770,000. So that we may safely calculate that, with a slight enlargement from the plan of Mr. Taylor, five million dollars would change the Champlain to a first-class ship canal. Mr. Jarvis estimated the cost of this improvement and that of the Hudson river for 20 miles below Troy, altogether, at eight millions of dollars ; but since then moderate appropriations have been made for this improvement, which are going on with every probability of success, tan leave the Champlain enlargeme nt to and d o w n o would own merits and come within the estimate already g l i i v e e tT n. nit Lhis st p a r t o e j s ec m t is not as a question of revenuet a d voca ted in Canada and t so much as of one for increasing facilities of trade, and worthy therefore to be taken up by the respec tive Governments. But it may be mentioned that, L according to the calculation of Mr. M'Alpine, an eminent American engineer, the cost of transporta tion by the new route would be less than by any ; other. The public men of Canada have held this scheme in high estimation. The Commissioner of Public Works, in his official report for the year 1864, observes that "In the existing state of our navigation, the cargo of a vessel arriving at Mont real loaded with grain for the Eastern States cannot be portagetitcr Lake Champlain except at such..as increase in the cbst of transport as to nullify all the advantages of the St. Lawrence navigation. The connection, he adds, would also facilitate the large export of saved lumber from various points along the Canada frontier by costly and other circuitous routes, and would enable it to be laid down at the minimum of transport charges at the great lumber mart of Albany. It would also form a direct route for that portion of the staple product of the Ottawa Valley required for the American market. Naval and Military Intelligence. The subjoined General Order has been issued by command of the Field-Marshal Commanding-in- Chief, from the Horse Guards, in reference to the Staff College examivation : " With reference to 'paragraph 5 of the Staff College Regulations, published with the General Order, No. 855 _ _ dated the 21st of October, 1864, officers of the army are, hereby informed that the examination, in July, 1866, of candidates for admission to the Staff College, will comprise the following portions of military history and geo graphy—viz., Campaigns of 1796, in Germany and Italy;' Campaign of 1797, in Italy, to the fall of Venice. N.B.—Candidates will be expected to be able to make a rough sketch of any of the fields of battle, or of any por tion of the countries in which the operations were carried on, and to describe their chief geographical features, with their influence on the movements of the combatants. Can- didates will receive, on application to the Secretary to the Council on Military Education, a copy of the synopsis of the studies pursued at the Staff College, which may serve as a useful guide to them in preparing themselves for the examination." Information was yesterday received at Woolwich of the intention of the Field-Marshal Commanding_ in-Chief to hold an inspection of the troops in gar- rison to-morrow on the Common. It was yesterday officially announced at Chatham that Major-Gen. Sir R. Walpole, 8.C.8., command ing the forces in that district, will commence the half yearly inspection of the troops under his command this morning. The inspection will extend over seve- ral days. Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., yesterday in spected the 52d Regiment, now in garrison at Ports- mouth, on Southsea-common. Orders have been received at Chatham garrison directing the following officers to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation to join the service com- panie,s of their respective regiments—viz., Capt. G. Clay, commanding the 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, to embark for Burmah ; Lieut. C. G. Leggett, 2d battalion 4th (King's Own) Regiment, to proceed to Malta; and Ensign J. A. L. Hamilton, 2d West India Regiment, to embark for Barbadoes. The 71st Highlanders paraded in the Queen's park, Edinburgh,' on 'Wednesday forenoon, to un dergo their half-yearly inspection by Major-Gen. Walker, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Scotland. The regiment, which was under the command of Colonel Hope, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel Parker, and Brevet-Major Lambton, mustered about 650 rank and file. Gen. Walker and staff arrived on the ground a little after 10 o'clock, and were received with a royal salute. The regi- merit was then put through a number of evolutions, including skirmishing and file firing, all of which were executed in a creditable manner. At the con- elusion of the field exercises, Gen. Walker expressed satisfaction with the different movements that had been executed. He afterwards visited the range in Hunters' Bog, where he tested a number of the men in the use of the rifle. In the after Gen. Walker went to the Castle, and inspected the books and internal economy of the regiment. Major Pym, 1 sergeant, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, and 50 privates of the Royal Marine Light Infantry were yesterday ordered to hold themselves in readi ness at the divisional quarters at Woolwich for em barcation on board her Majesty's 39-gun screw steam frigate Bristol, commissioned on Wednesday last by Capt. Geoffrey T. P. Hornby, recently Flag Captain to Sir Sydney C. Dacres, in command of the Channel Fleet. Capt. Hornby will occupy the post of Commodore of the Ist class on the west coast of Africa, now an independent station, and relieve Capt. Arthur P. E. Wilmot, COmmodore of the 2d class, and in command of her Majesty's 21-gun screw corvette Rattlesnake appointed in August, 1862. Yesterday Mr. G. W. Beardslee, under whose direction the torpedo experiments were carried out at Chatham on the previous day, accompanied by Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., and a number of officers connected chiefly with the corps of Royal Engineers, ' went down the harbour and witnessed the explosion of a number of torpedoes which had been planted by Mr- Rearcislee in various positions. Prince George de Solms Braunfels and suite visited the manufacturing department of Woolwich Arsenal on Wednesday, by special permission of her Majes ty's Secretary of State for War. The Prince was received by the heads of departments, and spent a considerable time in his inspection, the major part of which he devoted to visiting the royal gun fac tories, and especially the manufacture of the new muzzle-loading guns, termed the' Woolwich guns," and stated to be an undoubted improvement on the Armstrong styl4 of manufacture. By order of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, a series of trials have just been concluded on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, at Ports mouth, of an improved Terry's breech-loading rifle, manufactured by the Breech-loading Armoury Com pany, and which have been most satisfactory. The first experiments with this weapon were conducted by Capt. R. S. Howlett, C. 8., at that time in com mand of her Majesty's ship Excellent, when 1,800 rounds were fired without the rifle being cleaned and without its once missing fire. Further trials succeeded by the officers of the Ordnance Select Committee, supplemented by another trial on South sea-common, by order of the War Department, under the direction of Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., the result of these trials being the issue of the rifle to the 18th Hussars, the Cape Mounted Rifles, and other cavalry regiments, Lieut.-Col. Knox, commanding the 18th Hussars, stating in his report on the capabilities of the rifle, that " as a cavalry carbine it cannot be surpassed." The last trials on board the Excellent, under the supervision of Capt. Astley Kay, C. 8., and Commander Arthur, by direction of the Admiralty, have confirmed pre vious reports of the efficiency of the rifle, and it is not improbable that the very favourable nature of the official report from the Excellent may lead to the further adoption of the weapon in both services. In New Zealand the Terry rifle has been found most serviceable during the recent war, the Colonist Volunteers being chiefly armed with it by the Colo nial Government. Admiral Sir W.

LADVERTISEMEXT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills. — Outward Infirmities.—Before the discovery of these re medies, many cases of sores, ulcers, Sze., were pro nounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to destroy the strength it was incompe tent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate to remove. Holloway's pills exert the most wholesome powers over u nhealthy flesh or skin without debarring the patient fr om fresh air and exercise, and thus thel constitutiona l vigour is husbanded, while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and ski n di sease s are in process of cure.
