A Galway paper of Wednesday supplies another hint for the Horse Guards authorities :—" On Tuesday, be foveen 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. DEFEAT OF THE CANADIAN MINISTRY' The elections will be conducted with much animosity. It is probable that changes will take place in the Minis try before the new Parliament meets. Lord El g i n w ill 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 faithfully solved, and the result will tend still more strongly to confirm the idea of the fitness of the province for self-government. 13, Great Marlborough-street, London.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 13. The Stromboli, G, steam-sloop, Commander Hall, sailed last evening for the Downs, probably to assist in the embarkation of the French troops. The Lucifer steam-♦essel 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 surveyed 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 fi l lo. 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 Ist battalion the Rife comprising upwards of 1,000 officers and men, embarked on board the hired 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 am mun iti on. S 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 numbe r o f 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 Si m l a 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. CHANGES IN SOLDIERS' DRESS.--It is stated that the military authorities have agreed upon extensive changes in the uniform of the line. The 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 encumbered with patch work and useless buttons, and shaped in at the waist like a dress-coat. Further, the Albert shako is to be replaced by felt helmet, set off with German silver. MILITIA_ AND YEOMANRY. The Ist Lancashire Militia, about 600 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 :„Ports mouth will speedily be garrisoned by Militia in liea 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 Furneaus. The men went through a number of very difficult manoeuvres with unusual pre cision, and elicited the warm approbation of the Lipu tenant-Colonel. At the close of the display the regimpet formed a hollow-square, and the Duke of Cleveland .414- dressed the men, to which they loyally responded,*dq daring their willingness to serve their Queen and coultri, anywhere. , . Upwards of 50 fi ne y oung men from the First York Militia, who had joined the Guards and Artillery Il e t Pontefract, have arrived at head-quarters. The Wigan Troop of the Duke of Lancaster's 7 , 7 manry Cavalry h ave rece i ve d or d ers to muster on i , 27th inst. a n d j o i n h ea d- quar t ers at Lancaster on e 28th inst., for duty and inspection. The Brecon Rifles (Militia) have been ordered to Ply mouth to increase the strength of the garrison. ON AN OFFICER. A. general COUßT court MARTIAL martial wa s held yesterday and on Wednesday, at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, to try Lieutenant James Edward Perry, of the 46th Regiment, for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at Windsor, on or about the night of the 28th or morning of the 264th of June, 1851, committed an outrage ous assault on Leiutenant Thomas Fergus Greer, of the 46th Regim en t, an d gr i evously 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 commanding officer of the 46th, appeared as prosecutor. Lieutenant Greer examined by the Deputy Judge Ad vocat e—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 aay warning, seized a candlestick from the table, rendered a n d m s t e r u i c n k s e m n s e i b a l e. viol e vir n t h e b n l ow l o w n a s t h e head, sufficiently re. covered I went towards him, and he again struck me on the head. I r emem b er nothing more until, having re covered for the second time, I told him to send for a doc tor, which he did. This took place in the barracks at Windsor. I w as ser i ous l y woun d e d. with B tl y a rmtdhe me, and d s o w n w e oh r ue — ns o ly. n oo uf t h mv e oe nigh iub ny te t r e o t tossing, d f t ho play,sBttmh my soli citation, was asnodl in ied iitda the tpiloany, 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 produeed a roulette box. You played, and won 1001. of me. The cross - examination of the witness was continued by questions intended to elicit that the prisoner was most for bearing, and acted strictly in self-defence ; but many of the question s witness refused to answer; others the court would not allow to be put. It appeared that he had in sisted on the prisoner keeping on playing, and when the latter returned to his own room he had pulled him back by his coat-collar, a n d w h en he had ret i re d aga i n h e f o ll owe d himinto his room, and commenced using opprobrious lan guage, whe.o a scuffle ensued, and the wounds complained of were ir.flicted. Assistant-Surgeon Dempster deposed to being summoned about :our in the morning to Lieutenant Perry's room, where he found Lieutenant Greer with blood flowing from his head. Prisoner said that Lieutenant Greer had en ternd his room, and insulted him ; that he then ordered him under arres t , and on Lieutenant Greer's refusing to do ao, and again insulting him, he had inflicted the injuries that required assistance. He (witness) dressed Lieutenant Greer's wounds, two of which were, he considered, dan gerous. Would not swear that prisoner did not tell him that Lieutenant Gisler had struck him as well as insulted him, though ho did not recollect his saying so. Lieuten ant Greer was sensible though somewhat confused. Lieutenant and Adjutant M'Alester 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 ',eon any. This was the case for the prosecution, and the pslsoner enterr i d on his defence by calling witnesses. Ether Major—l am a dressmaker. Was in the barracks on the 29th ult., between 12 and I. Lieutenant Greer !At 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 tim e ." Li eutenant Perry said, "On your honour ?" To which Lieutenant Greer assented. The latter used very of f ensive terms, and then both went on talking and laughing. Prisoner insisted 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 a scuffle. I ran upstairs, and saw Mr. Greer standing against the wash hand stand, his face teeming with blood. Both Mr. Greer and Mr. Perry were standing in a wrestling 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 pl a yi ng t oge th er in Lieut., Greer's room, down stairs. On being pressed by prison er , w i tness stated she had said on a previous occasion that she heard the words in Lieut. Greer's room, also that Lieut. Greer used most opprobrious terms, and both statements were correct. Adjutant 31`Alester examined by prisoner —I have never had reason personally 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, sa id th a t he wo u ld say t h at pris oner.had always conducted hi mse lf as an officer and a gentlemin, and on many occasions ex hibited great good feeling and command of temper. He had never heard of him evincing a different spirit. The prisoner here requested an aljournment till to morrow (this day), which was acceded to. THE GORDON ITIGELANDERS. TO THE BOIT TIMES.

Let me give Lord Hardinge all credit, however, for the speed with which at the last moment he coll ec t ed and for warded to the scene of war 25,000 men. I h ave no wish to throw any blame on his Lordship. Ther e Was proba bly little time to inquire if the volunteerin g system was likely to prove more expensive to the count — , y in the long run than the forwarding of the required number of men without interfering with the establishment 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 800, T call 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 on e. Nor will I dwell, though I may touch upon, the loss to the Lieutenant-Colonel of the 92d of the fruits of his time, patience, and labour. It is well known that recruits learn at least as much from their elder comrades as from the ser geant-major or ' the non-commissioned officers, The'd t . . u ies of guards, and pickets, and others which I c ou ld 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 time before a soldier becom es 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-Colonel is deprived, if I may so say, of a groat 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 quartered 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 Thermopylae," where, as at Quatre Bras, they left 300 on the field ; they can call to mind Sir Denis 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. And, 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- Inaillb to be clone, there is every 04couragozoat to be do ing - - • _ _. r 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 be, where shall we look for the reserve of Lord Raglan's army? It is idle to depend on the militia, if there be no nucleus of trained soldiers. Whether I contemplate the possibility of disasters at Sebastopol, or that of a process of negotiation, in which the more imp os i ng our available force the greater will be our influence, I cannot help feel int, 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 be the soul of a section ; much more of a regiment or an army . H ow can you expec t th e so ldi ers to be convinced of your appreciation of it, if you dismem ber a regiment like the 911? Observe the origin of esprit ; you will understand then why what is cal led a "crack" regiment is generally so superior to another. Regiments were originally raised in counties— here was the first source of esprit. 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 91d, 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—by 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 maim.. niched to the last. Believe me, sir, had it been the lot of the 92d to have been sent to Turkey, and to have stood in some ravine in the Balkan, a column of Russian's or a c l ou d of Cossacks swarmin g t o 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 ho 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 Scotchmen. 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 M`Donald, and which is retained by exprest order of the Duke o f 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 tence ; only its nucleus remained. Let, however, the first transport which returns by Gibraltar embark this for Scot land; let me hear the sound of their bagpipes in the main street of Aberdeen here; and I promise Lord Hardinge 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 beg to thank you for your courtesy, air, in admitting my letters ; but I shall not again draw on it.—l 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.11. 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 .fite, 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 tactios of war. His Royal Highness Prince Albert proceeded from London in the afternoon by special train on the South- 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 Byng, the deputy-chairman ; and the other directors, with Captain 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 casem..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 ball and study of the junior officers, the chemical laboratory, and 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 to 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 ie 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 the 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 for 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 ditches 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 cylindrical and indiarubber pontoons. The proximity of the River Medway rendered this experiment peculiarly interesting. The use of th e helmet and diving dress was also exhibited. At the close of the operations the Royal Engineers gave a splendid entertainment , in their mess-ro om, to a large and distinguished pa rt y . His Ro y al Highness Prince Alpert 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 VEST.—The Ga l way Packet st a t es that large numbers of tourists are d ai l y arr i ving in that town by railway, on their way to Connernara, t o wit ness the beautiful scenery for which that country is famed. POTATO DISEASE.—I have seen letters from Cork, Balling, Sligo, and Westmeath, a ll of which state that the potato blight has appeared, but only to a very small extent. QUEBEC, JUNE 23. The Administration which has conducted the affairs of Canada for the last fix 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 majorityin the Legislative Assembly. Without doubt the result of the adverse decision of the Assembly will have fur 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 puta ion they have acquired for the pu nc t ua l 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 n o c h ange 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 beau de clared to have forfeited the confidence of the country has 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 *40,-.4ther prominent members of the first Cabinet which was formed after the introduction of responsible 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 bad 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 hence, 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. Hin c k s mus t h ave f ai l e d i n 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 required some assurance from their own friends that he was now prepared to do what it was supposed his chiefs had hitherto prevented. To attain this end the negotiators drew up a p rogramme 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 this do cument it never could have attained to office. This given, the people were satisfied. A general election, to test the views of the constituencies on these questions, took place, and the Administration began their tenure of power with the overwhelming support of the members elected. After a lapse of nearly twelve months, the Ca binet met Parliament at Quebec, in August, 1852. During the session the Ministry obtained the pas• sage of an address to the Queen, praying for the re peel 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 resell es by a Parliament called into existence to decide upon that very question, the house generally approved the di lay proposed by Ministers, to defer proceedings till the next session. A bill was passed through the Lower Housedefill 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 it) the Ministry was shaken, for as the several questions con stituting the programme were successively brought up they w, re either evaded by the Ministry, or so modifi d 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, 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. Au answer was returned, that "duo 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 fur declining to meet Parlia ment until forced by th e d e l ay 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, he 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. 'rho 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 merit would oppose all legislation beyond the passing of the most urgent measured necessary for the pub lic interest ; and that, as to the two great questions eo uppermost in the public mind, no notion would be taken this session beyond the mere introduction of two bills in connexion therewith. It is right to state that during the recess the most extraordinary actions were in re imputed to the members of the Administration. In the house, while discussing the topics embraced the speech, the Ministers were openly charged with cor ruption, and likened to the Walpoles of bygone days, and a committee was named to inquire into the purchase of certain Government lands by Mr. Hincks. The de bates on the speech proceeded. The most violent harangues were delivered, and the Ministry denounced as faithless, corrupt, and dishonest. Finally, a combi nation was effected against them, composed, indeed, of the most heterogenous materia l s , and consisting of th e remains of the old Tory party, represented by Sir Alan Nlacnab, Messrs. Macdonald and Sherwood ; the ultra- Liberals, consisting of Messrs. Brown and others ; and the French Canadian party, con isting of some Liberals and Conservatives, represented by Messrs. Cauclion and Sicotte. An amendment was proposed to the address, censuring 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 atesettlement of the clergy reserves," and it was carried by 42 against 29. Mr. Hincks forthwith requested an adjourn. ment till the 22d in s t ., to allow Ministers time to decide on the course to be adopted. On the morning of the day that the Hou se 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 speech. The Governor informed the Legislature that as he had been disappointed in e the hope that they would proceed w ith ou t d e lay to the 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 plight be taken under the New BoPmect'atl" LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.
