ALLSOPP and SONS find it necessary to caution the Public, and especia.ly Shippers of their Ales to the Cdo,ies, aga nst irauds committed by parties in selling spurious A lee for those of Messrs. Allsopp and Sons. tite•srs. ALLSOPP and SUNS have felt compelled by the extent to which this disgraceful practice has been carried, to proceed in *everal cases by ontaining ir , Junctions from the Court of Chancery, and have ultimately been driven to prosecute criminally for the com mission of this offence. They beg to ctll attention to the Case of the QUEEN V. GRAY and Gomm, in which Lard Campbell sentenced the parties charged to " Twelve Month? Imprisonment, with Bard Labour."—Vide "Times" and "Morning Advertiser," of the 18th May. Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS will thank all persons having rea son to doubt the genuineness of any article sold under their name, to send them the earliest intOrmation, in order that immediate steps may be taken for prosecuting the parties. Messrs. ALL-zOPY and SONS w,il be Lappy to flunish the names of respectable houses, where a supply of their Ales may be depended on as genuine from the Brewery. Brewery, Burton-on-Trent. The trousers, it is expected, will be of dark blue. The Guards are, for the present, to retain their uniform. A Galway paper of Wednesday supplies another hint for the Horse Guards authorities :—" On Tuesday, be tween 11 and 12 o'clock a.m., while some companies of the 72d Highlanders were being drilled in Eyre-square, one of the men fell down in a faint from the heat of the sun and the weight of the accoutrements he had to carry in heavy marching order." _ The depot of the 2d (Queen's) Regiment arrived in Dublin on Wednesday from Athlone, to occupy the quarters vacated by the 63d, now at Cork under orders to embark for the East. it. No doubt Colonel Atherley does not grudge the pre sence of his Highlanders when the country most requires them. The main question is this—are there many regiments in the state of the 92d? And, if there be, or if there are to ofit t i r s a i i d n l e e d t odep soldiers.end on w t h h o o th m e militia, be, where shall we look for the reserve of Lord Raglan's nucleus army ?rinftetrhueprleatbeetnhoe possibility of disasters at Sebastopol, or that of a process of negotiation, in which the more imposing our available force the greater will be our influence, I cannot help feel ing misgiving. The picked soldiers are all in Turkey, and, though 25,000 men were raised to-morrow, they would be unfit for the field for months to come by reason of the vo lunteering system. With regard to esprit de corps, I find it stated in the record of my old regiment that the work was published by Kig William's command for the purpose of keeping the feeling alive. In like manner, in the Queen's regulations it is suggested that squads should be held responsible for the conduct of individual men. Esprit de corps, then, is acknowledged to bo the soul of a section ; much more of a regiment or an army. How can you expect the soldiers to be convinced of your appreciation of it, if you dismem ber s regiment like the 92d ? Observe the origin of esprit ; you will understand then why whatis called a "crack" regiment is generally so superior to another. Regiments were originally raised in counties — here was the first source o f es p r it. So long as the recruiting was confined to counties the esprit probably lasted. By and by, however, only the name of the county remained ; then all depended on the regiment's fortune in its colonel, or on its seeing service in the field. Some which were sent to tropical climates and saw no service deteriorated ; some which, like the 92d, were early brought into the field were sustained by the esprit of clan or county. This, however, was supplanted or increased by esprit de corps-11 the memory of such exploits as are chronicled in the 92d's record. The peace came—the brave who fell in the war were not forgotten. It was as much by the power of an appeal to the past, as by the force of his personal character —great as that was—that Colonel M`Donald, who so long commanded us, retained the lustre of our bayonets untar nished to the last. • Believe me, sir, had it been the lot of the 92d to have been sent to Turkey, and to have atoodia. some ravine in the Balkan, &column of Russians or a cloud of Cossacks swarming to the fight, the battle-cry, "Gor don Highlanders, remember the Pass of Maya !" or " Re member Arroyo de Molinos !" would have been worth more than the difference of 200 bayonets. Lord Hardinge, of all men, should know the virtue of a noble name, for he will bequeath one to his posterity. Centuries hence, perhaps, Englishmen will compare a Governor-General of India who bivouacked one night with his exhausted companions in arms on the field in which they had contended for the empire of the East, to that of Harry V. before the day of Agincourt : " If we are marked to die, we are enough To do our country loss, and if to live, The fewer men the greater share of honour." That was the noble spirit they will say sustained him ; and that was the noble spirit which we in Aberdeenshire are proud to believe sustained the Gordon Highlanders in Holland, Egypt, and the Peninsula, at Quatre Bras, and at Waterloo. In the north we prize the inheritance of our soldiers' glory. We look with jealously on the prospect of the 92d's tame being confided to the custody of any but Seotchmen. We fear the gradual passing away of the officers and non commissioned officers who are read in the constitution which was given to the regiment by General Iti'Donald, and which is retained by express order of the Duke of Wel lington. We are mortified at the thought of the probable neglect of the corps, and its sudden completion some day at the expense of its nationality. Therefore, sir, I beg to repeat my suggestion that an appeal be made to that origi nal esprit which brought the Gordon Highlanders together. Do not answer that they have been but three years abroad, and that to bring them home would be an unprecedented proceeding. To dismember them was an unprecedented proceeding. Neither tell me that the army generally would have cause for complaint. On the contrary, the least dis tinguished regiment, when brought into the field, would remember that the bravery which was demanded of it would be remembered thereafter. Indeed, the 92d has no exist tenee ; only its nucleus remained. Let, however, the first transport which returns by Gibraltar embark this for Scot land; let mo hear the sound of their bagpipes in the main street of Aberdeen here ; and I promise Lord Harding° that it will not be long before he learns that the Gordon Highlanders are ready again for the enemy, come he when or in what number he dare, I bog to thank you for your courtesy, sir, in admitting my letters ; but I shall not again draw on it.— I subscribe myself your obliged correspondent, AN OLD GORDON HIGHLANDER. Aberdeen, July 6. _. P.S.—Where is the Duke of Richmond? GRAND MILITARY OPERATIONS AT CHATHAM, IN THE PRESENCE OF H.R.B. PRINCE ALBERT. The chairman and directors of the East India Com pany visited Chatham yesterday morning, for the pur pose of witnessing a grand military fête, which was executed in the presence and under the direction of General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., inspector-general of fortifications. An announcement was issued that ample arrangements would be made to enable the public to view the opera tions, and some thousands of persons took advantage of the occasion to make themselves acquainted with the tactics of war. His Royal Highness Prince Albert proceeded from London in the afternoon by special train on the Smith- Eastern Railway to Chatham. The Prince 'was received at the London-bridge ter minus, and accompanied to Chatham, by Sir John Campbell, the chairman of the railway ; the Hon. James Bytig, the deputy-chairman ; and the other directors, with Capt.iin Barlow, the general manager of the line. On the Prince's arrival at Chatham, the Royal Artil lery fired a salute. The Prince and his party occupied a stand on the top of the casein ,te barracks, near the dockyard, and within a few yards of the Medway—a point which commanded a perfect view of the whole pro ceedings. His Royal Highness was loudly cheered on his appearance upon the ground. Prior to the commencement of the active business of the day, the chairman and directors of the East India Company visited the barracks and schools, the hail and study of the junior officers, the chemical laboratory, amid the workshops of the establishment of the Engineers, and expressed themselves satisfied with the order which prevailed. They then visited other establish ments to which they were invited, and eventually pro ceeded t ) the lines, where the troops had assembled, consisting of the 35th Regiment, Royal Marines, the 80th and 94th (recently returned from India), Provi sional Battalion, Royal Artillery, the Royal Sappers and Miners, and the Sappers and Miners of the East India Company's service. The whole of the troops of the garrison were engaged in the attack and defence of a fortified town, and for carrying out the different ope rations with effect they were broken up into separate divisions having no connection with each other. Each division represented a distinct and separate part both in attack and defence, which were carried on without re ference, in point of time or order, to any other operation. Some of the operations were such as at a siege would only be executed during the night, and the troops went through that part of th duty as if the operations were performed in actual warfare. An escalade of Prince Henry's bastion, and a repulse of the escalading party, were the first practical business to which attention was directed. A column of troops with ladders advanced from the Canterbury-road, car ried the right face of Prince Henry's bastion by esca lade, and established themselves within the lines. Im mediately afterwards a column advanced upon them from Fort Amherst, to whom they showed a stout re sistance, but were ultimately driven out of the fortifica tions. During their retreat a smart fire of artillery was opened upon them from the left flank of the King's bastion. In the second operation, after an inspection of the parallels, approaches, and double saps in operation, the head of one of the double saps was destroyed by a mine.% The object of this mine, which was fired by the garri son, was to show the difficulty of restoring the sap to a proper state fur working, and the injury the besiegers would experience by the retardation of their operations. The third operation was the attack of an advanced fleche, and its destruction by mines previously prepared ; the formation of a lodgment by the assaulting party, and the tracing a second parallel from the lodgment to the existing parallel. A column of troops for this purpose advanced from Gillingham Tower, and crossed the bridge on the road to the tower. During their advance a heavy fire of musketry and from the . guns in the fleche was kept up on them for some time. The party occupy ing the fleche then retired, and destroyed it by the ex plosion of the mines. Immediately after its destruction the sappers of the assaulting column advanced, and formed a lodgment upon the ruins of the work. A strong covering party occupied the ground in front, and under their protection a body of workmen extended from the fleche to the right of the parallel, in the order that would be observed in tracing and setting a party to work in the formation of a first or second parallel. Next came the destruction of a strongly-built stockade, erected with baulks of timber (oak), firmly fixed in the earth, and ribboned together with oak at the top and bottom. The height of the structure was 12 feet, its width about 15 feet. This formidable barrier was blown down by gunpowder. The fifth operation was the mode of defending a river, and the entrance to harbours was exemplified by sub aqueous explosions. The defence of flitches of a fortified place against an assault by rockets, forgasses, hand-grenades, live shells, musketry, and pierriers, was the next operation , followed by the mode of throwing a body of troops with artillery across a river, upon rafts of cylindric al and indiarubber pontoons. The proximity of the River Medway , rendered this experiment peculiarly interesting, The use of the helmet and diving dress was also exhibited. At the close of the operations the Royal Engineers gave a splendid entertainment, i n their mess-room, to a large and distinguished party. His Royal High ness Prince Albert honoured the festival with his presence, and returned to town in the same manner and with the same attendants as he proceeded to Chatham. TOURISTS IN THE WEsT.—The Galway Packet st a t es that large number s of tourists are daily •irrivin g in that town by railway , on their way to Connernara, t o wit , ness the beautif ul scener y for w hich that country is famed. POTATO DISEASE.—I have seen letters from Cork, Balling, Sligo, and Westmeath, a ll o f which state that the potato blight bas appeared, but only to a very small extent. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 13. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hall, sailed last evening for the Downs, probably to assist in the embarkation of the French troops. The Lucifer steam-vessel returned from Pembroke this morning. The fairy and Elfin steam-yachts went out of harbour this morning to try their engines, ready to receive her Majesty to-morrow A Russian vessel, called the John, Schulz late master, has been seized by the Customs in the West India Docks, and the necessary proceedings taken in the Court of Ad miralty to condemn her as a Crown droit, she being the property of the Queen's enemies. The following transports have been taken up by the Admiralty for the conveyance of troops to the Baltic : The Prince, screw steamer, 2,700 tons burden, the Bel gravia, Herefordshire, Fox, Clifton, Julia, Nimrod, and the Columbia ; the latter vessel will go into harbour to embark the staff horses. By advices received from Dantzic, under date July 10, it appears that the Gorgon, Commander Cracroft, the Driver, Desperate, Bulldog, and Basilisk had made an effectual survey of the GUlf of Finland. On the 28th of June the Bulldog and Driver were close into Cronstadt, and survey ed and sounded the mouth of the harbour. The Termagant, 24, Captain the. Hon. Keith Stewart, has not been able to get away from Spithead yet, and it is reported her machinery will take two or three days longer to adjust. Rear• Admiral Superintendent Martin shifted his flag yesterday at Portsmouth from the Illustrious, 46, to the Powerful, 84. . _ The Exmouth is a sister ship to the Algiers, Aboukir, &c. She will be fitted out immediately for service. This is the nineteenth screw line-of-battle ship now afloat, including the four screw guard-ships. They are as follow : THREE-DECKERS.

The Perseverance, a ship purchased by the Admiralty from Meisrs. Mare and Co., of Blackwall, was launched yesterday afternoon, at the works at Bow Creek. She is of the following principal dimensions : _ Feet. In. Length between the perpendiculars 270 0 Length of the keel for tonnage 247 0 Breadth, extreme 3B 4 Depth of hold Burden in tons 1929 78-94 She is to have a pair of screw engines of 360-horse power, by Penn and Co. The machinery was built for the Emperor of Russia, but seized by the British Go vernment. Miss Collier, daughter of Admiral Collier, performed the ceremony of naming the Perseverance as she went off the slip in excellent style. She is to be taken in hand and forthwith fitted for service. Another paddle steam-ship has been commissioned. Commander Kyna4on, promoted in 1852 from First Lieutenant of Sir George Seymour's flag-ship Cumber land, has been appointed to the Spiteful, 6, at Wool wich. The iron screw store-ship Supply, 640 tons, 80-horse power, built by Mare and Co., of Blackwall, has been commissioned. As we anticipated, Mr. Penn, one of the most respected and experienced masters in the service, has been appointed to the command. The commander of the second despatch gun-vessel, we understand, is Lieut. Edward G. Hore (1846), who has just returned from the Baltic, where he had been serving as first lieutenant of the Conflict, 8, screw-frigate. The command of the first screw despatch gun-steamer Arrow has been given to Lieut. W. K. Jolliffe (1845), a highly-deserving officer, who has commanded two steam vessels on the Coast of Africa, and bas lately returned with the Myrmidon. There are numerous candidates for the command of the four other despatch gun-sloops, and among other dashing officers who have distinguished themselves, is a l w ie h u o te s t e ia rv n e t of d with h h c V ap u t l a t i u n re o M pe r ; Cm not. o hß m e.,pi e an r r e ah i ni l, the sa,giog o t,cwoffic coolly he performed the daring s f t a e e a n n t d ed d l e t s h t r e u c b t i o v o e m fi r c f r r o o s u s i the c r i u v t e t r i n , batteries. g u n t h d e e r atremendous APPOINTMENTS. t Lieutenants hn A r rnwandand j Commanders u .

EMBARKATION OF RIFLES, f b l a , t o ta o l o i battalion of officers t h P aen o d ß ßt n T i te S en 7;o er lT: ad Hi k ,: e i d u o r nY boardl 3 . comprising t u h p e Twil h er i d r l e ss d t steamer Orinoco, from the dockyard this afternoon, for conveyance direct to Varna. About 200 of the 68th regiment are expected to-night from Liver pool, also to embark on board this ship. The Ori noco takes out 20 boxes of specie for the troops, and between 80 and 90 tons of ammunition. She is in fine order, and the troops are in an excellent state of efficiency. They were accompanied to the dockyard by their band and a large number of persons. The Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General Simpson, superintended the embarkation. The Orinoco is ex pected to sail to-morrow. The Himalaya, Simla, and Colombo, are to leave South ampton to-morrow. The Himalaya will go to Liver pool and Dublin for the 2d Dragoons ; the Simla to Plymouth, for the 4th Dragoons ; and the Colombo to Portsmouth for an infantry regiment, all of which are bound for the East. A number of cavalry horses will be embarked on board the Himalaya to-day. Lieutenant- Colonel Seymour will also embark on board of the Hima laya to-day. Medical comforts will be placed on board all these steamers for the use of the troops during the voyage. Portsmouth garrison is about being manned by militia, as its last regiment of regular troops will be embarked for foreign service on Monday. CIIANGES IN SOLDIERS' DRESS.—It is stated that the military authorities have agreed upon extensive changes in the uniform of the line. 'rho soldiers of our marching regiments are to wear a doubled-breasted red frock-coat, with little pockets and without epaulettes. The coat is further described as incumbered with patch work and useless buttons, and shaped in at the waist like a dress-coat. Further, tho Albert shako is to be replaced by a felt helmet, set off with German silver, MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. The Ist Lancashire Militia, al;;;C600 strong, will arrive at Portsmouth 'this day, from Woolwich and Deptford, to do duty in Portsmouth garrison. The Royal Wilts Militia are also ordered into Portsmouth, and the Hampshire Infantry Militia are ordered to be embodied for similar garrison duty immediately ; thus rPorts mouth will speedily be garrisoned by Militia in lieu of regulars, who are all draughted for the war. The First or South Durham Militia, Colonel the Duke of Cleveland, has been inspected at Barnard Castle, by Lieutenant-Colonel Furneaux. The men went through a number of very difficult manceuvres with unusual pre cision, and elicited the warm approbation of the Lieu tenant-Colonel. At the close of the display the regiment formed a hollow-square, and the Duke of Cleveland ad dressed the men, to which they loyally responded, de claring their willingness to serve their Queen and country anywhere. 'Upwards of 50 fine young men from the First York Militia, who had joined the Guards and Artillery at Pontefract, have arrived at head-quarters. The Wigan Troop of the Duke of Lancaster's Yeo manry Cavalry have received orders to muter on the 27th inst. and join head-quarters at Lancaster on the 28th inst., for duty and inspe9tion. The Brecon Rifles (Militia) have been ordered to Ply mouth to increase the strength of the garrison. COURT MARTIAL ON AN OFFICER. A general court martial was held yesterday and on Wednesday, at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, to try Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 4Gth Regiment, for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at Windsor, on er about the night of the 28th or morning of the 2..1th of June, 1851, committed an outrage ous assault on Miutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regiment, and grievously wounded him by beating him on the head and face with a pair of candlesticks. Colonel James Lindsay, of the Grenadier Guards, was president; and Major Arthur J. Pack, Assistant Adjutant- General, officiated as deputy judge advocate. Mr.Darvill, of Windsor, attended as professional adviser of the accused who pleaded " not guilty." , _ _ Colonel Robert Garrett, the commandi ng o ffi cer of the 46 , Lieutenanta ppear e ( G I a r s e prosecutor. Greer examined by the D e p u ty J u d ge Ad vocate—l was in Lieutenant Perry's room on the morning of the 29th of June, and had had an altercation with him. I was rather excited. I pulled him about, when he, with out giving me any warning„ seized a candlestick from the table, and struck me a violent blow on the head, which rendered me insensible.. When I was sufficiently re covered I went towards him, and he again struck me on the head. I remember nothing more until, havinc , re covered for the second time, I told him to send for :doc tor, which he did. This took place in the barracks at Windsor. I was seriously wounded. By the prisoner —On the night of the 28th I was in the billiard room, when you Joluntered to play, and did p la y with me, and won lg. of me by tossing, at my solicitation, for double or quits. When you were in my room, I asked you to give me my revenge for the money you had won, and I produced a roulette box. You played, and won 100/. of me. _ _ The cross-examination of the witness was continued by questions intended t o e li c it th a t th e prisoner was most for bearing, and act e d s t r i c tl y i n se lf-d e fence; would not allo w but many of the questions witn ess re f use d t o ans wer; others the court to be put. It appeared that he had in sisted on the p r i soner k eep i ng on p l a ying, and when the latter returned t o hi s own room h e h a d pulled him back by his coat-collar, and when he had retired again he followed him into his room, and commenced using opprobrious lan guage, when a scuffle ensued, and the wounds complained of were inflicted. Assistant-Surgeon Dempster deposed to being summoned about four in the morning to Lieutenant Perry's room, where he f o u n d Lieutenant Greer with blood flowing from his head. Prisoner said that Lieutenant Greer had en tered his room, and insulted him • that he then ordered him under a rres t, an d on L i eutena nt Greer's refusing to do so, and again in su lti ng hi m , h e h a d inflicted the injuries that required assistance. He (witness) dressed Lieutenant Greer's wounds, two of which were, ho considered, dan gerous. Would not swear that prisoner did not tell him that Lieutenant Greer had struck him as well as insulted him, though he did not recollect his saying so. Lieuten ant Greer was sensible though somewhat confused. Lieutenant and Adjutant WAlester produced two heavy silver-plated candlesticks, both broken, and marked with blood, which had been taken from Lieutenant Perry's room. In answer to questions, he stated that Lieutenant Greer was much injured about the head ; and, though Lieutenant Perry had one day after the fracas opened his shirt to exhibit some bruises on his chest, witness thought they must have been very slight, as he did not recollect having seen any. This was tho - ease for the prosecution, and the prisoner entered on his defence by calling witnesses. Esther Major—l am a dressmaker. Was in the barracks on the 29th ult., between 12 and 1. Lieutenant Greer sent for cards whilst I was in his room. Prisoner and Lieutenant Greer ultimately played at Rouge at Noir, and at one time the latter became quits within 5/. I heard Lieutenant Greer say once or twice, "This shall be the last time." Lieutenant Perry said, "On your honour?" To which Lieutenant Greer assented. The latter used very offensive terms, and then both went on talking and laughing. Prisoner imisted on leaving, and Lieutenant Greer brought him back by his coat collar. Both were laughing when they returned. Prisoner again left, and Lieutenant Greer followed again. I heard them talking and laughing. I heard Mr. Perry say, " Will you leave my room ?" Mr. Greer said, " No, I will not, you —, if you say I owe you that money." I heard ascufffe. I ran upstairs, and saw Mr. Greer s t an ding against the wash hand stand, his face teeming with blood. Both Mr. Greer and Mr. Perry wer e s t an di ng i n a wre stling position, Mr. Perry having some weapon in his hand. Prisoner—Did you hear him call me a son of a —, and other offensive terms? Witness—l did hear those terms, but that was when you Were playing together in Lieut. Greer's room, down stairs. sai O d n on be a in p g rev p i r o e u ss s e o d ec b a y sio ins h o a n t er, sh w e i h tn ea e r s d s t s h ta e te w d or s d h Es e_ad in Lieut. Greer's room, also that Lieut. Greer used most opprobrious terms, and both statements were correct. Adjutant iSl'Alester examined by prisoner—l have never had reason p ersona ll y to complain of Lieutenant Perry's conduct ; although I know he has lately been censured by the commanding officer. He has always, in my opinion , conducted himself as an officer and a gentleman. Captain and Paymaster Corcoran, of the 46th, said that 'he would say that prisoner had always conducted himself as an officer and a gentleman, an d on man y occasions ex hibited great good feeling and command of temper. He had never heard of him evincing a different spirit. The prisoner here reque.sted an aijournment till to morrow (this day), which was acceded to.

Let me give Lord Hardinge all credit, however, for the speed with which at the last moment he collected and for warded to the scene of, war 25,000 men. I have no wish to throw any blame on his Lordship. There was proba bly little time to inquire if the volunteering system wns likely to prove more expensive to the country in the long run than the forwarding of the required number of men without interfering with the establis h ment of regiments. As the immediate presence of an English army in Turkey was a matter of political importance, and it was thought that each regiment should muster 500, •• I - can understand that to select the first corps on the roster and to require the others to complete them was thought the simplest and best plan. In pointing to the vice of the volunteering system I wish to cast blame on no one. Nor will I dwell, though I may touch upon, the loss to the Lieutenant - Colon el of the 92d of the fr uits of his time, patience, and labour. It is well known th a t recruits learn at least as much from their elder comrades as from the ser geant-major or the non-commissioned officers, The duties of guards, and pickets, and others which. I could name, although they may be learnt in a few months, demand, if we would rely on those who are to perform them, a self recollection which is the result only of experience. Again, i it is a considerable tim e before a soldier b ecomes a good ' shot, nor does he within a few months learn to do things in general with that method and despatch which are so essen tial. In losing, therefore, the pick and Prime of his regi ment, the Lieutenant - Colon el is de p rived, if I may nn say, of a great body of instruction ; while it cannot but be that of the many who have left him some would have supplied the places of the non .commissioned officers who will be from time to time discharged. But Ido not wish to dwell upon the loss or inconvenience to him. The same care and pa tience, no doubt, which made the Gordon Highlanders the pride of every garrison in which they were ever quarters(' will soon rest re them if they be rightly dealt with. They have still their famous tradition to appeal to ; they can still remember the Pass of Maya, where their courage, writes Napier, " would have graced Thermopylm," where, as at Quatre Bras, they left 300 on the field ; they can call to mind Sir Danis Pack's words at Waterloo, when, riding up to them, he said, ~ 92d, the troops to your right and left have given way; you must charge those fellows ; ' they can hear the echo of the cheers which answered these words, and they can recall the after-speech of Sir Denis—" You have saved the day, Highlanders, but you must return, for there is more work to be done." All this and more the 92d can remember. Aud, as the officers and non-commissioned officers are learned in the constitu tion bequeathed to the regiment by its late lieutenant colonel, Lieutenant-General M`Donald, much as there re mains to be done, there is every encouragement to be doing /. [PRICE SD. DEFEAT OF THE CANADIAN MINISTRY' QUEBEC, JUNE 23. The Administration which has conducted the affairs of Canada for the la3t six years, and which, in so far as its relations with the mother country were concerned, was represented by Mr. Hincks, has just been defeated by a large majority in the Legislative Assembly. Without doubt the result of the adverse decision of the Assembly will have for a short time a prejudicial effect upon Canadian credit and the stability of provincial affairs, so much as the name Hincks been identified with the security of the one and the firmness of the other ; while, at the same time, those who have a pecu niary interest in the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada must needs feel some agitation when it is known that the introducer of that great enterprise into this great coun try, whose almost uncontrolled power over the Assembly has been so often exhibited, has been so summarily ejected from the commanding position he so lately held. Any apprehensions, however, in this respect are ground less. The people of Canada will ever maintain the re putation they have acquired for the punctual fulfilment of their pecuniary liabilities, while they are so fully sen sible of the advantages they derive from the introduc tion of British capital into the province that no change of Ministers can affect the great undertakings now in pro gress of execution. However much it may be regretted, it cannot be de nied that the Administration which has just been de clared to have forfeited the confidence of the country h as been doomed to suffer this penalty simply because it has not kept faith with the people. When Lord Elgin suc ceeded to the government of Canada, the province was on the eve of a general election, the result of which placed the affairs of the country in the hands of the Li beral party. The Administration was composed of Messrs. Lafontaine, Baldwin, Hincks, and the other prominent members of the first Cabinet which was formed-after - tbeintroduction of - resiOrsible government into the province. This. was early in 1848. Since that period the same Administration (though considerably modified as to its personnel) has remained in office. In 1850 it became evident that the long agitation which had continued in Upper Canada on the subject of the clergy reserves, and in Lower Canada on the seignorial tenure question, had at length attained so dangerous a degree that it became absolutely necessary to accede to the popular demand for the immediate settlement of both questions. Messrs. Lafontaine and Baldwin were both opposed to the changes required, and they ac cordingly resigned their seats in the Cabinet, and have ever since sat in Parliament. Mr. Hincks (who re mained in office) was then charged with the formation of a new Ministry, to be distinguished by progressive re form principles. He associated with himself Dr. Rolph and Mr. Malcolm Cameron, two of the most popular men in Upper Canada, well known for their ultra-liberal opinions,.and solemnly pledged to the immediate secu larisation of the reserves. Before obtaining their support, however, and that of the party with whom they were identified, it became necessary to require from Mr. Hincks certain guarantees of future policy, and henos, through the instrumentality of three gentlemen, who possessed in an eminent degree the confidence of the Reform party in Upper Canada, an alliance was formed between Mr. Hincks and the gentle men just named. Without the co-operation of Messrs. Rolph and Cameron, Mr. Hincks must have failed in forming a Cabinet. The Reform party were dissatisfied with him because he was the colleague of Lafontaine and Baldwin, who were opposed to the secularisation of the reserves and abolition of the seignorial tenure ; hence they prepared prevented. to do To required some assurance from their own friends that he what as attain it t was l; is end t h supposede negotiators his I w i ad hithertono w drew up a programme of the measures which the new Ministry was pledged to obtain for the people, the most prominent of which was the secularisation of the reserves and the settlement of the seignorial question, Without a distinct understanding that the Cabinet was bound to carry out the principles enunciated in thikdo cument it never could have attained to office. ` this given, the people were satisfied. A general eleetiCurftie test the views of the constituencies on these qUestions, took place, and the Administratioit began their: tenure of power with the overwhelming suleport of the members elected. After a lapse of nearly twelve months, the Ca binet met Parliament at Quebec, in August, 1852. Daring the session the Ministry obtained the pas sage of an address to the Queen, praying for the re peal of the Imperial act which controlled the disposition of the reserves, and requesting that power should be given to the colonial Legislature to dispose of them as they thought proper. The request was granted, and the assent signified before the session terminated. Al though the most ardent friends of secularisation desired the immediate passase of a bill to dispose of •the reserlu by a Parliament called into existence to decide upon that very question, the houy„ganerally approved the delay proposed by Ministers, to defer proceedings till the next session. A bill was passed through the Lower House defin ing (not abolishing) the seignorial tenure, which was re jected by the Legislative Council. After a session of seven months the Parliament was prorogued. Confidence in the Ministry was shaken, for as the several questions con stituting the programme were successively brought up they were either evaded by the Ministry, or so modified as to frustrate the object sought. After the prorogation the whole press, with one or two exceptions, assailed the Administration with breach of the promises made at the hustings —for their repudiation of the programme.. To avert the danger, the members of the Cabinet made a progress through Upper Canada, and made speeches, 4 in which some of them committed themselves by pro mising immediate secularization and settlement of the seignorial question. Mr. Cameron was reported, indeed, to have compromised the Governor-General in his dis courses. An universal impression was thus produced that the Ministry would settle both questions during the ensuing session. It must be borne in mind that during the last session a bill had been introduced to fix the time for the meeting of Parliament in February of each year. This bill would have passed, but was withdrawn on Mr. Hinck's proposition to submit an address to the Governor, requesting him to convene the house at that period. An answer was returned, that "due weight" would be given to the prayer of the house. Instead, however, of this promise being realized, the Parliament was only called on the 13th of the pre sent month, being exactly one year since the proroga tion. (By the constitution of Canada only one year can elapse between the termination of one session and the holding of another.) The Cabinet had thus availed it self of the utmost latitude for declining to meet Parlia ment until forced by the delay allowed by the constitu tion to do so. The Governor-General opened the session with a very negative speech. He, however, recom mended to the attention of the Legislature the Recipro city Treaty, which he had just negotiated with the United States Government, the details of which were to be submitted for ratification ; the bringing into im mediate execution the act of last session for extending the franchise to about 70,000 new electors, in order that, as the number of members of the Assembly had been increased from 84 to 130 by a bill which would come into operation after the dissolution of the present Parliament, these new members should be elected under the provisions of the Extended Franchise Act ; and, finally, be alluded to measures for the reduction of the tariff, and to the proposed change in the constitution of the Legislative Council. There was no allusion to the reserves, none to the seignorial question. Indig nation was at once aroused against the Ministers. The friends of these measures were now told that this Parliament was incompetent to deal with these questions (although it had been elected for the very purpose of settling them for ever) ; that the Govern ment would oppose all legislation beyond the passing of the most urgent mea-ures necessary for the pub lic interest ; and that, as to the two great questions so uppermost in the public mind, no action would be taken this session beyond the mere introduction of two bills in connexion therewith. It is right to state that 1 during the recess the most extraordinary actions were imputed to the members of the Administration. In the house, while discussing the topics embraced in the speech, the Ministers were openly charged with Wcor ruption, and likened to the alpoles of into t bygone days, e and a committee was named to inquire of certain Government lands by Mr. Hincks. h The d purchase e . bates on the speech proceeded. Th e most violent harangues were delivered, and the Ministry denounced ' as faithless, corrupt, and ellshonest • Finally, a combi nation was effected against them , com p osed, indeed, of the most heterogenous materials, and consisting of the remains of the old Tory party, represented by Sir Alan Macnab, Messrs. Macdonald and Sherwood ; th e u l tra- Liberals, consisting of Messrs. Brown and others ; and the French Canadian party, con-isting of some Liberals and Conservatives, represented by Messrs. Cauchon and Sicotte. Au amendment was " proposed t o t h e address, ce nsuring the Government for not submitting to the Le gislature during the present session a bill for the immediate settlement of the seignorial tenure, or one for the immedi ate settlement of the clergy reserves," and it was carried by 42 against 29. Mr. Hincks forth with requested an adjourn ment till tlic 22tlinst., to allow Ministers time to decide on the course to be adopted. On the morning of the day that the House was to meet the Speaker was notified that the Governor would prorogue Parliament that af ternoon. When the house met, Sir A. Macnab offered to allow the Franchise Bill to pass into immediate ope ration, give effect to the Reciprocity Treaty, and vote the supplies, but the Ministry rejected these proposi tions. While the discussion was proceeding, the Usher of the Black Rod appeared to summon the house to at tend his Excellency for the prorogation. The most violent tumult and confusion at once arose ; the mem bers gesticulated and shouted as they upbraided the ministers for the course they had taken. Order being restored, the house proceeded to meet the Governor and to the evident astonishment and terror of the ministers, the Speaker of the Assembly read an address to his Ex cellency, regretting that his commands had prevented the house from performing any act necessary to consti tute a session of Parliament, but that it was from no want of respect to him that the Commons had returned no answer to his speeeh. The Governor informed the Legislature that as he had been disappointed in the hope that they would proceed without delay to the 1 consideration of the matters mentioned in his speech, he had resolved to prorogue Parliament and have recourse to an immediate dissolution, so that the sense of the country might be taken under the New Representation y r - ' 7 IBM end *hit fell the ParHAW tbe ILO 11 Hi existence. The excitement on this proceeding is intents. The Commons complain that they were not allowed to finish the discussion on the speech from the throne. Feelings of personal hostility will arise throughout the country. Months must elapse before any public business can be done. The new elections will take place in August, and the Parliament will probably meet in October. In the meantime the important matters of the Reciprocity Treaty and revenue remain undecided, together with all the other questions which have so long excited the public The elections will be conducted with much Rnimosity. It is probable that changes will take place in the Minis try before the new Parliament meets. Lord Elgin will now have an opportunity of exhibiting any real talents he may possess for the guidance of the country, as dis tinguished from the passive part he has taken under the letter of the constitution as carried on by a Ministry till now possessed of the confidence of the representative body. Canada is once more undergoing one of those phases to which a young country, scarcely accustomed to its almost independent constitutional powers, must be for a time subject ; but, thanks to the wise system which has placed the government of the province in the . hands of the people themselves , the problem will be steadily and faithf u lly so l ve d, and the result will tend still more strongly to confirm the idea of the fitness of the province for self-government.
