Thomas L. Conolly, Archbishop of Hali fax. Foremost in all good works, the Archbishop has been pre-eminent in lending his name, his talents, his time, and his influence in support of the proposed union of the colonies—a union which he recommends not solely because it is the wish of Great Britain, without whose protecting shield the colony could not exist for a day, except as an addendum to the United States ; but because he sees in union the foundation and inevitable growth of a new and noble nationality on the North American Continent . —possessing within itself all the elements of pros perity and progress ; greater guarantees for the per petuation of true freedom than the United States have shown themselves willing or likely to afford ; and, above all, destined to enjoy these solid advan tages without any admixture of hatred or jealousy of, or antagonism to, the beloved mother-land to which the new nation would owe its existence. The Archbishop is so beloved that he can proselytise in politics where he never could proselytise in religion, and stands in the colony as a tower of strength among all parties, irrespective of religious faith, who desire the continuance of British connection as the best, if not the only, guarantee of the welfare of these noble provinces. In St. John, New Brunswick, where the Roman Catholic clergy, if not the Bishop individually, look with indifference or disfavour on the Quebec scheme, the Irish municipal vote is not given in support of confederation. In Halifax, in consequence of the well-known views of the Archbishop, the case is different, and the Irish vote is almost unanimously in favour of candidates for municipal offices who have rendered themselves conspicuous for their ad v vvac T of colonial union. At the annual elootinn for mayor and aldermen, on Tuesday last, the 3rd inst., the late mayor, Mr. Richey - , a strong sup porter of confederation, carried the day by a majo rity of 214 against his anti-confederate opponent, Mr. Tobin, the numbers being—for Richey, 623 ; for Tobin, 409. The same gentlemen contested the office in 1864, when the question of confederation was not in dispute. Mr. Richey polled 374 votes, and Mr. Tobin 304. The figures show that in the present year 357 citizens who did not vote in the year previous were induced to take part in the con test, and that nearly the whole of them went for the Confederate candidate. In the six wards of the city the same result was exhibited, in every case a Con federate alderman being retained in office or elected. over an anti-Confederate opponent. the .sed blic • s ir tc* 4 7 "L. 2: • - . . • • ,44, 14, ,, • - _ „ diro, .. • - • t%v , .

It only busies itself with the detail; against which it carps with out suggesting any great or essential improve.. ment. Long before the project of union with Canada was promulgated the people of the mari time provinces had expressed themselves in favour of a legislative union of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and, if need were, of Newfoundland. Even at the present day, when a larger scheme has found favour with the Canadian and been approved of by the Imperial Government, many Nova Scotians look with affection on the smaller project, and hint that they would cheerfully waive all objections to union if Canada were ex cluded. Others, who do not go so far as this, ex press their preference for a legislative union of the maritime provinces, as the best and safest pre liminary to a Federal union with Canada, be lieving that by entering the Union as a unit, and forming one of three co-equal States with Upper and Lower Canada, the commercial or political in terests of the maritime provinces would be more certainly promoted than they would be under the seheme of the Quebec Conference. This- idei finds especial favour in Halifax, which under such an arrangement would become the legislative capital of three provinces, and attract to itself the legal and Parliamentary business now transacted in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

The aspect of affairs to those who arrived at Newmarket by the special train on Sunday afternoon was very dis couraging. Rain was falling, had been falling all day, and continued to fall late into the night,with a steady downpour that threatened to materially interfere with the chances of favourites and upset all calculations on the great race of Tuesday. But this morning the wind shifted, the sun came out, and the prospects of a brighter week cheered the hearts of backers, to whom heavy going was the destructidYi of their hopes. Not that the ground was so deer. more especially on the Cambridgeshir•-.oauree - , as-we-expeeuni to find it. it 1104 vu ow l ", which the water easily drains, and it keeps fine between this and to-morrow morning the going will bo very good. The .£5O Plato, "The Cambridgeshire Trial," brought out a large field, from which Teuriste and Balham were most fancied, but the soft ground interfered with their chance—much as the latter horse is supposed to like dirt —and Saladin won cleverly. Lord Lyon, looking very fit and well, made havoc of the field in the Criterion despite his 71b penalty, and in the match between Mr. Pitt and Mazurka, the latter receiving from the Duke of Beaufort's horse 211 b, his grace's good judgment was shown by his clever winning under such a weight. There was a very fine finish between Moulsey, Wild Agnes, and Gemma in the £lOO Plate over the Rowley Mile, Wild Agnes appear ing to have the best of it at the distance, but Moulsey an swering very gamely to young Grimshaw's call won on the post by a head. The transactions on the Cambridgeshire in the course of the afternoon, beyond the gradual retreat of Gladiateur, were not very important. The opinion was general that to ask Count Lagrange's horse to win under the crushing weight of 9st 121 b on the present soft ground was setting him a task beyond even his capabilities. Provisor was first favourite, and Ostregor improved his position on the decline of the French horse. There was rather a demonstration in the morning in favour of Holstein, but it subsided on the course, and while one or two outsiders, among them Sister to Drake and Red Earl, came into notice, there was nothing calling for any special remark.

Were there anything like a tolerable steamboat on the route, the vonge from St. John, New Bruns wick, across the Bay of Fundy, to Windsor, in Nova Scotia, would in fine weather, be one of the most agreeable that a pleasure tourist could select in this hemisphere. But in America, whether in the United States or is the British colonies, no one travels unless compiled by necessity. The fact is well known to the purveyors of locomotion, and they act accordingly. Railway cars and railway appli ances of the most inferior and uncomfortable cha racter are the rule throughout the continent, and as all who travel must travel, all who travel must content themselves with such accommodation as railway directors may see fit to supply. The steam boat companies in New York and New England have a little more conscience, and on the Hudson River their mode of dealing with travellers forms a isplendid .viteoti on to lad-gvitetwaly preVailing mug_ torn of treating them as it they were cattle or bales of cotton. The Hudson River boats are so conve nient as well as gorgeous that they have received and merit the name of floating palaces. Were it not for the overcrowding, which is the fault of the public rather than of the owners, they might be fairly considered as providing the highest amount of ease and luxury of which locomotion is capable. But their exceptional magnificence only darkens the' contrast exhibited by the tawdry and perilous tubs that do duty for steamboats in the inland waters of North America. If there be degrees in this kind of badness, the boats that ply on the rivers, harbours, and coasts of the British colonies merit the distinc tion of being the worst, and suggest but too palpably the idea that their proprietors buy up the old and worn-out steamers of the Yankees , as the Jews in London buy up old clothes, to revamp them for an in ttrha f e e in r ß io ta r ht o nt r wo a fa m sm o a r ii e easily deluded class of customers. It is hard to resist the belief, when on board of such p a e v ri e l s e se e l f i e n na a gg c ie ro g ss , sea, that the creaking craft has for 15 years or thereabout escaped the manifold collision in the fog, conflagration, and boiler bursting in the States, and then been dis posed of in her old age to a colonial purchaser as quite good enough for Canadians and Blue-noses.

R an o d lli f n as g tes an t and wallowing g w o o n r 1. the d t hcor Emperorest of the heaviest sped bn t slowly for 70 miles across the bay through the Channel of Minas. A little after daybreak we ar rived at the remarkable headland known as Split Rock, and often, with equal appropriateness, called b b le ee D n ow sh n a , t ' t ' e a red pro b m y o r n i to gh r t y m w .n lri g c o h r of Nat ure , and left in such a seems rer ma"s state eCrifae p o iet f Thuter riblemad agency chaotic ruin as to be liable at every howl of the tempest or every dash of the billows to be washed into the sea. From this point the course lies through the Basin of Minas, bounded on each side by those portions of Acadia which Mr. Long fellow has celebrated in his poem of " Evangeline —a fact which several of my fellow-travellers took especial pains to impress upon my mind ; such of them as were either Nova Scotians or New Bruns wickers s upplementing the infor ma ti on b y th e i r re grets that Mr. Longfellow had n o t con d escen d e d t o visit the province which he undertook to describe. It the didscenery not n appear, however, that hi s d escr i p ti ons o f and productions of th e A ca di an wilder ness did any serious ou trage to the truth of Nature, did or that his pictures of Ac adian life and character would been very different if he had lived gthe have sce nes and the people po r trayed in his flowing en hexameters. e t e r s . a Arriving a t Windsor at about 11 o'clock in the morning, and submitting to an examination of our lu g gage at the Custom - house — thou g h we had come from no foreign State , but onl y from the sister colony am of New Brunswick, t h a t p er s i sts, like Canada and N having her own tariff of customs duties—we o to wait until half-past 12 for the trainv a thatS s to convey us to Halifax. There is nothing ctootlivbalalea idli seen at Windsor but a great hotel on the American model, about ten times as large as the trade of the place demands oris ever likelyto require, and remarkable among establishments of its kind 1 for its sublime indifference to the wants of travellers. There were upwards of 100 hungry andthirst people who had nothing to do for an hour and a half but to eat and drink, yet this huge hotel, large enough to accommodate 500 or 600 guests, had nothing to to offer them—not even a welcome or a place to sit 1 down in, or a civil functionaryto answer the simplest' question. It is true there was a bar where a Yankee girl made cocktails out of execrable brandy, but nothing except cocktails was procurable for love or money. The consequence was that the hungry and thirsty hundred of male and female malcontents dis tributed themselves through the town, prudently keeping within sound of the railway whistle, and sought the hospitality denied them at the Clifton House at the minor but very inferior inns, of which there are about a dozen in the place. Nor did they search in vain. The more the hungry travellers complained of the big hotel, the more did the pro prietors of the little hotels endeavour to solace them with good cheer. The result at the time when the train was announced to be in readiness was that everybody out of the big hotel was satisfied, and that perhaps even in that lethargic establishment the clerks, waiters, and chambermaids had gone to sleep, and were as happy as their neighbours. The road from Windsor to Halifax lies over what in the United States would be called " a God forsaken country." A more barren-looking, de solate, unpromising wilderness it would be diffi cult for a landscape painter or a poet to con ceive. Huge unshapely rocks and boulder stones encumber the ground. The vegetation in the cre vices is sparse and short, and the trees that take ad vantage of every little oasis in the dreary waste to woo the winds and the moisture appear as if they had a hard struggle to maintain their vitality amid so many discouragements. But appearances are pro verbially deceptive, and the wealth of this howling wilderness, if not to be found above, is -to be disco vered beneath the soil. The whole district is aurifer ous. Four years ago nobody suspected that there was gold in Nova Scotia. Now, in the short dis tance between Windsor and Halifax scores of gold mines have been excavated, and most of them are paying large returns on the capital invested. In a future letter I propose to describe what I saw in the course of two visits to German Town and the Wa verley Mines, and to give some account of the past history and presentprospects of gold mining in Nova Scotia. For the present I must confine myself to the general subject, and hurry on to Halifax, alike the commercial capital and seat of Government, and the only considerable town in the province. The entrance to Halifax, either by the railway or from the harbour, is not prepossessing, and conveys no better idea of the place than used to be conveyed of London when foreigners in the prse-railway age entered the great city via the Thames and Wapping. Further acquaintance with the Nova Scotian capital tends, however, to remove the first unfavourable impressions. The place looks like an old-fashioned English cathedral town, with this differer ce, that there is no cathedral worthy of the name, and that the houses are mostly of wood and have no pre tensions to architecture. Five or six years ago a fire swept through two of the principal streets, and acted to this extent as a public benefactor. It cleared away hundreds of mean-looking buildings, which without its agency might have stood for a century, and the owners had sense and public spirit enough to take advantage of the calamity, and re-build their shops and homesteads of bricks and stone. The result is two handsome business streets, containing several substantial and orna mental public buildings, and a vast improvement upon the general squalor of the place. A municipal law prohibits the erection within certain limits of any new wooden buildings, and in case of fire, or other destruction of any existing " shanty," its place must, if supplied at all, be supplied with brick or stone. Yet the people of Halifax are greatly attached to their wooden houses. They declare that stone and brick are damp, and that the only warmth and com fort are to be found in the behind timber. Doubtless, the Micmac Indians who erect their wigwams in the woods within ten miles of the city, could give rea sons equally satisfactory to themselves why wigwams are ereauy 41, marble uttle- T-T.l;far_ in its main aspects, looks like an inferior copy of Ports mouth, and is inhabited by the same classes of people —soldiers and sailors, crimps and outfitters, publi cans innumerable, and a sprinkling of merchants and professional people. The population is under 30,000, and is slowly but steadily on the increase. Manu factures have made as yet but little progress, but a start has been taken which will probably lead to favourable results. There are in the city two or three ironfoundries, a tobacco manufactory carried on by two enterprising Scotchmen, which turns out Virgi nia tobacco in the shape of cigars and quids in quan tities sufficient to meet nearly all the wants of the province without any aid from Havannah or other foreign ports, and a flourishing oakum factory worked by steam power which supplies the merchant navy frequenting the harbour with all the material it requires. When this last factory was established considerable opposition was manifested to it on the part of the philanthropists of the place, who argued that the poor negro population, who during the long winters passed their time in picking oakum painfully with the fingers, as paupers and prisoners do in England, would be deprived of work, reduced to destitution, and thrown upon public charity for the means of subsistence. The result has falsified the prediction. The negroes still continue the oakum-picking, and receive much higher pay from the mill which buys their inferior work to place it under machinery than they ever received before the factory was established; their experience thus adding another to many thousands of similar proofs afforded by the history of mecha nical and industrial progress that machinery is the poor man's friend, and not his enemy, and employs a much greater amount of human labour in one way than it displaces in another. The Nova Scotians and the people of Halifax, like the New Brunswickers, but unlike the Canadians, take the greatest possible interest in the question of Confederation. It is the one topic of discussion in the press and in society, and is canvassed under all its aspects, local, intercolonial, and Imperial, by every class of the people. If there be degrees of loyalty in the Provinces, and Canada be taken as the positive, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia may rank as the comparative and the superlative. New Brunswick is not fed, as Nova Scotia is, with sop from the Imperial Treasury, in the shape of the large dockyard expenditure consequent upon the selection of Halifax as the principal North Ameri can station of the British navy, so that if the loyalty ' of New Brunswick maybe considered to rest upon a purely sentimental basis, that of Nova Scotia will be found to have a groundwork of solid self interest as well as of pure affection. There are in Canada many who talk secretly in favour of annexa tion to the United States, but no such persons exist in the maritime provinces. Hence, in New Bruns wick and Nova Scotia the question of Confederation is not complicated by any overt or latent disaffection to British rule, and is always debated within the limits of a cordial allegiance to the mother country. In Halifax the great majority of the people are strongly in favour of Confederation, though not en thusiastic in support of all the details of the scheme. I gather, however, from the Parliamentary discus sions of the last session, that closed in May last, that in the rural district and the smaller towns on the coast, and in the interior, the project is not viewed with the same satisfaction, and that the op ponents of the measure are of opinion that if a gene ral election were now to take place the result would be the return of a House of Assembly opposed to the measure. But a dissolution is not probable. The actual Ministry, under the Premiership of Dr. Charles Tupper, a practising physician in this city, possesses the confidence of the house, and on any other question than that of the Confederation can command 37 votes out of 55. Dr. Tupper and the members of his Governmeutare ardent Confederates. As such they do not think it advisable to force a premature verdict, which would either cause their removal from office, or compel them to appeal to the country on a single issue, on which the public judg ment is not yet sufficiently educated to record a dispassionate decision. The opposition to confederation in the rural dis- The antipathy to the Uanacbans—wnicn i uut, however, entertained by leading politicians or edu cated professional classes, though widely diffused among the rural and industrial as well as mercantile population—is difficult to be accounted for. When ever a New Brunswick or Nova-Scotian Anti-Con federate orator wishes to make a point that is sure to hit the popular taste, he has but to declare that the politicians of Canada are notoriously corrupt-- that the people are " Yankees," or something worse, and that Canadian finance is so mismanaged as to be certain to end in bankruptcy. Some Nova Scotians even go so far as to assert that they would prefer the withdrawal by the British Go vernment of the right of self-government ac corded to the colonies to a union with Canada, which in their estimation can only lead to the esta blishment of an ultra-Republican form of govern ment, antagonistic to British ideas, and incom patible with allegiance to a Constitutional Monarchy, if it would not be a stepping-stone to that colonial independence which in its turn would be a stepping stone to incorporation with the United States. This hostility to Canada continually betrays itself. The last time the question of Confederation came before the House of Assembly, immediately prior to the adjournment of the Legislature, Mr. Le Vesconto, formerly Financial Secretary, de clared that " Nova Scotia would never con sent to be a dependency of Canada" that " three hundred thousand Nova Scotians, after their country was annexed to Canada, would have no chance of obtaining justice in the matter of taxation against the overpowering influence of three millions of Canadians ;" and that, in short, the pro ject of Confederation was an unholy compact, in tended to barter away the rights and liberties of the Nova Scotian people." Of course all this was the merest moonshine, but was none the less acceptable to those whose prejudices it flattered. It is not my purpose to defend Canada and her statesmen from such attacks as these, but only to record the state of feeling that exists, and endeavour, if I can, to ac count for it. The main source of the jealousy en tertained of Canada appears to be ignorance. At the reading rooms and places of public resort in St. John and Halifax the Canadian newspapers are rarely seen. The New York papers can be purchased at the booksellers' shops, but the journals of To ronto, Montreal, or Quebec, are not to be obtained, 44-- on much need for them as to subscribe for them in advance. Canadian affairs receive about as little attention from the newspapers of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as those of New Zealand or the Cape of Good Hope. The trade be tween the provinces is small, and the amount of travel is proportionate. One little steamer, with scanty accommodation for passengers and not much capacity for freight, making a fortnightly trip dur ing the summer months from Shediac to Quebec through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and stopping at almost every little village and ferry on the way, suffices or is made to suffice for all the wants created by the intercolonial business that does not flow west ward to St. John, New Brunswick. This imperfect knowledgeproduces misapprehension. The Canadian rebellion of 1837 is the main incident of Canadian history which remains indelibly imprinted on the minds of the eminontlyloyal people of Nova Scotia, who never rebelled against their lawful Sovereign or dreamed of perpetuating a crime so heinous. One ground of the covert dislike entertained against the Canadians is their alleged tendency to what is called e , " Yankeeism," and in the case of the Lower Ca nadians the difference of race, language, and creed, which, as they have already acted as disturbing influences in Canadian politics, would, it is calcu lated, act in a similarly prejudicialmanner upon the politics of the Confederation. The principle of re presentation by population embodied in the Quebec scheme is also distasteful on account of the over shadowing preponderance which its adoption would give to the Canadians in the general Government of the Confederacy. For a similar reason the Nova Scotians look with disfavour on the project, so dear to the President of the Canadian Council and the. Toronto Globe, of purchasing out of the general re ' venues of the Confederacy the rights of the Hud son's Bay Company over the North-Western terri tory, which the anti-Confederates persist in calling the " North Pole," as a scheme that can be but of nominal advantage to Canada, while it will be of very remote, if any advantage whatever, to the maritime colonies ; and still more strongly as against Canada, though not as against the Imperial Government, the dilatoriness of the Canadians in the matter of the intercolonial railway, acts as a damper on Confederation. Were the construction of that line fairly commenced, and its completion within a reasonable time guaranteed—not by a Canadian Administration, that is in office to-day and may b e e rnsc o mo u t t eina o nt f ,s m o a ffi nand ce yN t o o e : fmtßhoreruronswmswi—al.belkuoetbr objections y toio t u h nld e s ofßritish theN G O o v v a lose their force and be gradually dropped out of dis cussion. But a fear that Confederationmay be forced upon them without the railway, and that, by some hocus-pocus of party politics in Canada or in Eng land, this immense boon to the maritime provinces may even yet be withheld, lies at the bottom of an opposition that takes many other shapes and names, and uses many other and apparently less selfish cries to keep itself before the public. As far as my means of observation enable me to judge, the opposition of Nova Scotia to union with the other provinces is neither obstinate nor general. It goes to the detail rather than to the principle, and owes what little bitterness it may possess en tirely to the exigencies of party warfare in a small colony, where personal considerations have more weight than matters of public policy. Many Nova b S e c e o n tia d n ic s— ta t p e e d r h to a th th at e a m n a jo at r t i e t m y — p t t hin has k bteheeny made a e t s v e , nts, whethertiithey t t i o i ey thrust t v l e m i tschemenote ;down that, at a t t throats, o have not been allowed sufficient time to study it out in all possible and probable effects upon their local interests. But in none of the complaints that are made is a single word of dissatisfaction expressed against the Imperial Government. Even the Irish, who in Canada and New Brunswick, under anti- British leaders and agitators, find abundant reason to oppose Confederation in the fact that the British Government supports it, have not in Nova Scotia a single objection to raise against it on this pretence, or any other that is not advocated by their Anglo- Saxon fellow-subjects. In this respect the province is highly fortunate in having at the head of the The details of the wreck of the brig Janet Allison, of Dundee, which took place off Berwick on Tuesday night last, are of a most distressing and painful character. Tho report of the catastrophe given by Capt. Bailey, the only survivor, is as follows :—On Tuesday at noon he bore up for the Firth, and at that time it was - blowing very hard from the E.SE., with a very heavy sea. At seven p.m. he saw the land, hauled the brig on the wind, and after wards tried to stay. She missed stays, however, and striking the ground she remained fast, lying broadside on the rocks. Captain Bailey then had the small boat put out to leeward, but the sea breaking over the ship filled her (the small boat), and at the same time smashed the long boat, which was on deck. The crew took to the rigging. The captain tried to get them to make an attempt to reach the shore, but they were all afraid. He then got hold of an oar, and left the ship, and succeeded in reaching the rocks, though very much ex hausted. After recovering strength, he shouted to the men to follow, but none carne. If ho could have got a small line he could have thrown it on board, but having none he went in search of assistance, but it came too late. The tide had flowed, and at midnight, after two rockets had been fired over the ship, the masts fell over to seaward, and in one moment the cries of the suffering men were stilled for ever. Their cries wore hoard from the ship until the masts went, and when the engine which was sent from Berwick with assistance stopped abreast of the ship, the fellows made a hearty cheer. Captain Bailey acted with the most praiseworthy courage and promptitude in the very trying circumstances in which he was placed. 'With great pre sence of mind ho opened up a way of escape from the wrecked vessel; but, unfortunately, none of the poor follows board had sufficient nerve to try It, or thoy had been trusting with too great confidence in the refuge of the masts, to which they had betaken themselves. About nine o'clock on Thursday night, at a place known as the "Rock Ends," a little south of Burnmouth, a ship struck and speedily went to pieces. There was no possi bility of rendering any assistance, as the storm raged with such violence nothing could bo heard, and in consequence of the darkness of the night the crow could not be observed. From papers found, it turns out that the ship was the Henrietta, from Drammen, Norway, Captain Andreas M. Hjorth, master. Several articles of women's wearing ap parel have come ashore, together with the photograph of a lady. The vessel has gone completely to pieces, and all the crew have perished. s On Thursday, a little after twelve o'clock at noon, a small vessel, supposed to be a billy-boy or Scotch schooner, of about ten keels, was observed to be buffeting with the gale at a distance of three milesfrom Whitby. The general impression on shore was that she was water-logged, and would probably try to take the harbour or run on the beach. At times the vessel could not be discerned at all ; but at about half-past one she was observed to founder on the edge of Whitby Sand, a distance of two miles from the shore. Glasses wore at once turned to th place where she had been engulfed by the raging elements, in quest of the boat ; but no signs were to be seen of any thing. Shortly after some men saw what they thought to be a boat with three men in it, running towards the beach. The men after waiting for a few minutes saw the boat again, and at once communicated with the pilot and others on the pier. After losing a deal of time, they got permis sion to bring the National lifeboat out, but not before the fisherman's life-boat was out. The National lifeboat was at last got into the water, and pulled by a rope to the pier end ; but after getting thus far, no further way could be made. Meanwhile the boat, which contained three men from the ill-fated vessel, came rapidly towards the beach, and when about 100 yards from tbe pierand 200 yards from the lifeboat, a heavy sea struck the boat, lifting her stern entirely out of water, and turning her completely over The poor fellows were observed for some time after cling ing to the bottom of their boat. The boat has since washed up, and it appears that the name of the ill-fated schooner was the Elizabeth, of Goole. THE SCOTS GREYS.—The masterly tactics which left Lancashire without its usual cavalry regiment on the eve of a disturbed election, and took away a cavalry corps from Ireland within four or five days of the Govern ment action against the Fenians, are now being worked out to the final point. The Scots Greys, which had been bundled down from Aldershot by train to Manchester be fore the elections, to repair the error caused by the gratui tous withdrawal of the 3d Hussars a week or two previ ously, are now ordered to Ireland to fill the gap left vacant by the departure of the 11th Hussars on the eve of the Fenian business. This move was, no doubt, necessary; but we may ask, with all humility, why it was not ordered to take place at the usual time of moving troop. the Greys had been sent over contemporaneou s l y departure of the 11th, nothing can be said again s t t s either as regards the public interests or the conven ience iy w i th the th . e of the regiment. But the delay has caused grea t incon veniencehen they got to Newbridge, will married soldiers, who, w all ma in m th ed e r o e fa gim eer e s n , t, af w te h r ic h h av h in a: have had five changes of quarters altogether . within the to all, and a cruel expense to the unfortunate . last 15 or 16 months. The order roomy ed last Saturday just got settled down in Manchester . and the out-quar ters with surprise upon all tors for the winter. hesitated for a long time, thought they could at last count with safety upon a six months stay, and had taken houses accordingly; the leave season had begun; the leaves were actually out, some of the officers had gone awa y, and others were on the point of starting; the bad weather had fairly set in, and there was a certainty of a cold and wet march to Liverpool, as well as a" probability of a bad passage across the Channel; tho horses had got their winter coats, and the men were beginning to look forward to their furloughs. This is the particular moment selected by the authorities for amove, which ought to have been made in August or not at all, and the necessity for which was as palpable then as now. Of course, if any sudden occasion had arisen for sending over the regiment, no ono could complain, for individual comforts must be sacrificed to the public interest ; but this is not an increase to the usual cavalry strength in Ireland ; it is an ordinary relief postponed from the usual time to just the period when it could cause the maximum amount of loss and in convenience, leaves being stopped, and a troublesome work called for, extending probably into the first we!li in Novem ber. The relieving detachments are also subjected to the same discomforts. After mentioning this admirable effort to make the servicepopular—this ingenious contrivance for having the work of the public done with the least amount of loss and discomfort to those who have to do it —we need scarcely add that air Richard Airoy, although gazetted govornor of Gibraltar, is still discharging the duties of quartermaster-general at the Horse Guards.--Irmy and Nau Gazette. d
