SPIRIT OF THE PUFCIC JOURNALS, The Times says : The suggestion that the task of disen (lowing and disestablishing the Irish Church will be one ; of some intricacy seems to have surprised many who desire its fulfilment, and to have delighted as many who are opposed to it. We are sorry for both classes. It remains true, however much of a surprise the statement may be, that abolishing an establishment is a work of labour and pains, and the more it is thought over the more this fact will be seen. Disendowment cannot be absolutely complete while life interests exist.. The reserva tion of part of the property of the Irish Establishment for the use of the future'Protestant Episcopal Church in Ireland is defended as an act of grace and an act of justice. It is an act of grace because it is always a hard thing to deprive any set of persons of resources they have con tinuously enjoyed, and it is on this account that Mr. Bright has urged the propriety of the reservation. But it is also an act of justice. The private benefactions bestowed on the Irish Establishment have not been nume rous or large, but they cannot be forgotten ; and it would he altogether unjust to divert to public uses property recently dedicated to the service of a limited body. The Ti mes holds it will be inevitable that the churches intended to remain dedicated to their present use shall be chosen with refeleace to the distances of one from another, the density of the neighbouring Protestant population, and the guarantees which maybeforthcoming for their maintenance. The Times assumes that an Ecclesiastical Estates Com mission will be appointed, with powers to compensate ex'sting interests and to re-convey such property as may be reserved, or to vest in the commission the Irish Church property subject to life interests, so that it shall not come into possession until the life interests have ceased. The Tines prefers the second process. The question as to the purpose to which the surplus property shall be applied is altogether outside the question. The real difficulty is, not how to deal with the surplus, but how to deal with the funds reserved for the use of the Disesta blished Church. What is to be the nature of the society, what the status of the clergy, what the form of government and election of the chief officers for whose benefit and support churches are to be left and glebes reserved? Upon what rules of action must the Legislature proceed in deciding these questions? Our contemporary says it will not be the business of Parlia ment to devise an ecclesiastical polity, and in determining the trusts none but the Irish Protestants must be con sidered. When the Times asks who these are, and how their wishes are to be ascertained it comes to a stop, acknowledging the subject too wide for one article. The Post canvasses the probable duration of the Ministry. Their strength is indisputable, and, if they are prepared . to pull together with a steady stroke, they should win the race. There is no legitimate object which a Government constituted and supported as they are may not attain if the conditions of success can be observed. But any . general agreement that does not admit of con sentaneous action under particular circumstances will practically prove insufficient. Mr. Gladstone cannot be expected to answer for his Cabinet like Lord Palmerston or Lord Derby. His Administration will have to be tried as a whole, and with regard to the undivided responsibility on which its measures are sub mitted to Parliament. The question which has now most interest for the bystanders is, of what exact complexion will the necessary common mind be, and to what actual common action will it tend? What mean will be struck upon such questions, for instance, as the national defences, national expenditure, or national cdecation ? He who could give an answer to this would, in doing it, sum up the probable span of the Cabinet's existence. The new Parliament, in spite of its outward appearance, must be actuated by different views and desires from those which have hitherto prevailed within the walls of St. Stephen's, and the question to be solved is . at what point the general feeling will settle down, what may be and what must be attempted by the Minister who is to rule by directing it. The Standard says :—That, the Reform Act being passed, the first persons to be invited to Mr. Gladstone's side should be Mr. Lowe and Mr. Bright, is certainly a political passage without parallel in our history. The traducer and the traduced cannot be both fit to be members of one company. If Mr. Bright was right in his opinion of Mr. Lowe's conduct—an opinion which he has repeated within the last six weeks—Mr. Lowe can be no proper associate either of himself or of Mr. Gladstone. If Mr. Lowe was right in his attitude towards Reform, . an attitude which he has justified quite lately, Mr. Bright is quite out of his place as an English Minister. It cannot be said in explanation of this sin gular coalition that either has changed his opinions since 1866. Mr. Bright, it is true, told the electors of Bit , mingliam that Mr. Lowe had now "put on sackcloth and ashes;" but Mr. Lowe emphatically denied his own peni tence before his own constituency of the London 'University. It is impossible to believe, indeed, that a man who spoke so vehemently and with such true eloquence in 1836 was uttering opinions whichhe did not conscientiously hold, and which he had not carefully considered. It is equally difficult to believe that Mr. Bright has changed since he held up the present Chancellor of the Exchequer to the scorn and opprobrium of the English working man. The Herald remarks that the position of a Minister of Foreign Affairs, even in a country at peace with all the world, as ours is just now, must be anything but a bed of roses. Lord Clarendon has hardly been in office a week before he finds himself confronted with half a dozen new imbroglios. It has been so much the fashion of Liberal Administrations to retire from office after some years of complacent inaction, and leave to their opponents the un tying of some Gordian knot which they would never attempt to unravel for themselves—the grappling with some diffi culty which they never would look fairly in the face—that it is quite amusing to find the tables turned on them now. The Herald draws a dismal picture of the Eastern diffi culty, and says : If the storm should break over us, as it may do any day, for we have no Lord Stanley now to keep the Eastern question in abeyance, there will be a terrible choice proposed to the English Government. Are we to remain passive while the great battle of the equilibrium of Europe and the possession of the keys of the East is fought out before our eyes ? Are we to take part with our allies of the Crimea against our brethren in Germany, and be instrumental in advancing the French frontier to the Rhine? Or shall we stultify all our policy of the past by refusing to do battle for the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, and leave France and Austria to fight with Russia and Prussia for Constanti nople? So far from envying her Majesty's present • Ministers their possession of place and power, we cannot but feel pity for Mr. Gladstone and his Foreign Minister, now groaning beneath burdens which were too heavy for Atlantean shoulders. Mr. Gladstone has engaged to pacify Ireland, and Lord Clarendon, with America impending over him like a Damocles' sword, will be called upon to settle the Eastern Question. The Daily News thinks the Conservative party have, within the last few days, shewn a wcnderful power of making hay after the sun has ceased to shine. In Scot land they have filled up sundry offices with indecent haste. With regard to one of these the circumstances have been so remarkable as to create grave doubts of the legality of the appointment. In Scotland there is a legal dig nitary called a sheriff, attached to each county. The office is very different from that of a sheriff with us, and is held a very desirable one—as involving very little to do, and a good deal of money for doing it. All of a sudden a gentleman holding one of the most desirable of these desirable offices has resigned, and his successor has been named from among the Tory members of the bar. it is generallybelieved that the resignation was not tendered, much less the appointment made, until after Mr. Disraeli had resigned office on the 3rd. Doubtless the Pre mier's promptitude was an unpleasing surprise to the more distant members of his party ; but this cannot excuse such an unseemly display of greed. The matter itself is but a trifle ; but the principle is impor tant. Such ostentatious greed for public money should not be displayed by public men. It lowers them in the eyes of the nation, and is injurious to our system of government. We have no hesitation in saying that if this appointment can yet be stopped it ought to be so. Men who do these shameless things deserve a rebuke which, in the public interest, should be fearlessly given. We are sorry that the late Lord Advocate, who at one time gave promise of better things, should have ended his official career by the absurdity of his Judieatuie Commission, and the discredit of such a job as this. The Telegraph observes that the absolute and unquali tea exclusion of all members of the Executive from seats in the Legislature is inconsistent with our established scheme of parliamentary government. We consider th: - .,t the presence of the Queen's advisers in the two Houses is not only permissible, hut absolutely essential. The whole system of Ministerial responsibility in this country is founded on the practice of calling up on the Ministers to explain and defend their acts before I arliament. The present practice of vacating seats on accept ance of office is based ;on a curious and arti ficial compromise made in the reign of Anne. Since those days William the Fourth and Queen Victoria have acted in thorough union with the statesmanship of the day and with the people, shewing exemplary reliance on constitutional law ,• and we might boast that the danger of kingly aggression has passed. But that is no reason why this country should surrender an important check on the possible mistakes of any future Prince who might be at once ambitious, clever, and foolish. Such a check we possess in the law that on accepting certain Ministerial offices members of Parliament shall itacate their seats and be disqualified from a_Taiii entering the House of Commons unless re-elected, The practice is not only a useful memento of the means by which our parliamentary liberties have been developed, but at every fresh transfer of power to any new set of statesmen it also serves to mark the warrant which is derived from the Crown and that which is derived from the people. On gettinghigh Ministerial authority from the sovereign a member of the Commons' House must go back to the people and ask leave to use it. The fact that !without the distinct sanction of his constituency he cannot become a chief servant of the Crown reads ono of the most important lessons whicji constitutional statesniagsbio ~~ tQ ILLICIT DISTILLERIES. sivo extensive illicit distilleries have men discovered ir. Nottingham. For several months past the Inland Revenue officials have had suspicions of a wholesale manufacture of illicit whisky, and on Saturday, from information received, several excise officials visited a house on the High Pavement, occupied by a joiner named Alfred Methringham. They searched the place, but for a long time their efforts were ineffectual, but at length 11 Ir. Southgate, supervisor of excise, on rapping the wall, found a concealed door, which was cleverly pasted over with paper, so as to match the wall. Having obtained an entrance, they discovered a complete distillery plant, com• prising a copper still of about sixty gallons (which was in full:work at the time), and other complete apparatus for the making of spirits. A similar seizure was made at the house of Henry Smith, in St. Nicholas-street, the articles being of precisely the same character, and a number of barrels of whisky were found at both places. By these means the persons owning the stills could defraud the revenue of between £6O and £BO weekly, end there is litt7e doubt that they had been in active operation fur a considerable time. Mrs. Methringham and the man Smith were taken into custody on the premises, and brought before the magistrates the same day. They were each ordered to pay £3O, or in default of payment three months' imprisonment with hard labour. By tie offence they had incurred a penalty in the aggre gate of £l,OOO, part of which, it was understood, would b? subsequently inflicted. EXPLOSION OF PARAFIN OX A RAILWAY Another explosion of paraffin on a railway has occurred, suggesting once again the question whether the dangerous material should be carried about so commonly as it is. The accident took place on Sunday morning last, on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. It appears that on Saturday night a goods train, containing two casks of paraffin left the Battersea depot of the company, and proceeded at five o'clock to London Bridge ; thence it was despatched with an additional quantity of pods, and pro ceeded on its journey to Brighton. The train arrived at Three Bridges, and a dripping noise having some time previously been heard, the two guards (Harris and French) proceeded to discover whence it came, taking with them their lamps. They had hardly commenced their investiga tion when a terrific explosion took place, and they were instantly enveloped in flames. The explosion was heard for a considerable distance, and the other persons in charge of the train mailed to the assistance of the guards, when they were found to have been fearfully burnt. The porters and officials on duty with - the trains at the junc tion lent, of course, immediate assistance, and both the sufferers were at once sent to the Brighton Hospital. French was deeply burnt all over his body, and, though sensible and able to hold conversation during Sunday, died the same night at half-past ten. Harris is very much burnt about the legs and arms, and his condition is most precarious. The flames did not spread much. The truck which contained the cask was completely destroyed, with the whole of its contents, and the two adjacent trucks and what they bore were also damaged a good deal. The flames are described to have lighted up the locality for miles around. The intensity of the heat was such that the hand-lamps held by the deceased and Harris were almost completely fused. The rails have been displaced and twisted, and the keys of the main down line, some score yards off were touched and scorched by the liquid fire. The truck containing the inflammable material and its contents have been burnt to what looks like a cinder heap, but the number and initials of the railway are yet distinguishable on one of the beams. There is but scant hone of Harris recovering. ATTEMPTED MURDER. On Saturday night a young fellow named Edward Heshall attempted to murder his sweetheart in Fox-street, Brighteide, Sheffield. The girl is a Miss Mary Ann Barthorpe, a dressmaker, residing with her mother in Wentworth-street. The courtship commenced on the grounds of Whiteley Wood Hall, on the occasion of the great demonstration of miners, and the nuptials were to be celebrated soon after Christmas. The details of the tragedy would lead to the conclusion that the young man is mentally deranged. There had been no quarrel. On Saturday night the girl met him, at his request, at Heshall's lodgings. Having washed and dressed, he walked out with her, and pressed her twice in the course of their walk to enter the Barrel public-house, Pye-bank, but she declined. He went into that house himself to look for his brother, and returned in a few seconds. Then, whilst they were walking together towards his lodgings. Heshall put his arm round her neck, witt, as she thought, the intention of saluting her ; but in the next instant he drew a razor across her throat, inflict ing a wound four inches in length, from which the blood gushed in a torrent. The young man immediately ran away, and the poor girl, unable to cry for assistance, managed to walk to the house of a relative of Hcshall. From thence she was taken to a surgery, where the wound was stitched; was taken to her home in a cab, and from there, at her own request—her mother being absent--she was removed to the Infirmary, and is, we are glad to say, likely to recover. Heshall, on the death of a previous sweetheart, who died in childbirth, attempted to destroy himself by taking a dose of vermin killer. Lately Miss Barthorpe has noticed a peculiarity in his manner. On one occasion she refused to accompany him to Hillfoot Bridge, " lest," as she says, "he should throw her into the water," LAW AND POLICE. THE PnEss.—A decision given by the Master of the Rolls affords another illustration of the scrupulous care taken by the Court of Chancery to protect pending suits from the possibility of prejudice through comments in the press. In the case of Daw v. Eley, the defendant'w solicitor had communicated a series of letters to a newspaper, calculated, as the plaintiff alleged, to prejudice ais case, and an application was made to commit the attorney for writing the letters, and the editor for insert ing them. Lord Romilly gave the former the alternative of publishing an apology and paying the costs, or of sub ,litting to a committal. The duties of the editor were, however, of a delicate nature, and no order would be made. A LARGE CLAIM.—When Mr. Cannan, the official iquidator of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, had corn• pleted his labours, he claimed £38,000 as being clue to him for the duties which he had performed. This was after wards reduced to £25,000 ; but the committee of share holders, deeming the sum to be still too high, offered £7,000. The offer was not accepted, and a suit in equity was brought to determine the amount of remuneration to which the official liquidator was entitled. Vice-Chancellor Giffard has fixed the sum at £9,000. Mn. BRADLAUGH.—The action brought by Mr. Brad laugh in the Court of Queen's Bench against the publishes of the Razor• has resulted in a verdict of one farthing damages. THE OFFERTORY.—Judgment was given on Monday in the Consistory Court in the important case in which the right to the offertory alms of " Belgrave Chapel" was con cerned. Sir Travers Twis3 considered that the plaintiffs —the incumbent and churchwardens of St. Paul's, Knights bridge, to whose district it is alleged Belgrave Chapel belongs—had failed to make out a case, and could not claim the money. DEATH OF AN OLD ST. VINCENT VETERAN. One of the last of Nelson's brave companions at the battl? of St. Vincent has just died at Fremington, near Barn staple, at the great age of 97. Thomas Pile was one of the crew who boarded the San Josef, and assisted tilt immortal hero into the chains of that vessel, Nelson ex claiming, " Give me your hand, Pile ; I'm a good soldier, but a poor sailor." It may be mentioned that, although a sailor from his boyhood, he never indulged in a pipe of tobacco. _ PROFESSIONS IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT. —ln the Spectator we find the following analysis of the professions of the members selected to the new House of Commons : Deputy-lieutenants or magistrates—England and Wales, 251 ; Scotland, 30 ; Ire'and, 50.

EXTRAORDINARY VERIFICATION OF A DREAM.— The Australian papers, recording the drowning of William Firth in the River Murray, and his body being found high and dry in the bush, where it had been carried by a flood. mention the following curious circumstance. Some time after Piall had been drowned, a boundary rider on the station, named Greenwood, dreamt that he was fishing in the Murray, and that the deceased alipeared to him on the bank of the river, and asked him what he was doing there. Greenwood, in his dream, replied, " Oh, lam fishing for your body, as I hear you are drowned." " You needn't look there," said the shade of the drowned man, " my body is lying on yon log," at the same time pointing towards the place where the body has now been recovered. Greenwood told his dream to several persons some time before the body was found ; the story was laughed at, but nevertheless a search was made round the spot indicated by Greenwood, and the body has been . -• iguml FOREIGN NOTES. THE OUTBREAK IN SPAIN. After ten days' fighting, the insurgents still held Cadiz at almost all the points which they occupied at first. They had 3,000 men in arms, consisting very largely of soldiers, 500 or GOO,being regular troops, and from 1,200 to 1,500 rural guards, or gendarmes wl:o were devoted to the ex-Queen. All the felons in the city were liberated and armed, and the appearance in public of these malefactors produced such a panic that the rich inhabitants were leaving the city in large numbers. The rising has been formidable, and has offered a very serious resistance to the ProvisionalGovern meat. It is now probable that the insurgents w ill accept the terms offered them; but if they do not, the forces that have been sent to encompass Cadiz are so much out of pro portion to those which have gathered under the flag of the insurrection, that the result cannot long be doubtful. A great attack by land and sea will soon disp se of the entrenchments and barricades in the houses and streets, but this rising ought to be a warning to the Govern ment. It shews that too little government amounts in practice to the same thing as too much. There is always danger of reaction in a country where the overturning of one regime has not been followed by the establishment of another ; and in this case there is a special danger, for Isabella with her money and her adherents is always at hand to promote a movement against the men who exiled her. The rising at Cadiz was, most accounts agree, greatly supported by funds which could come but from one quarter. THE FUTURE KIN 3 OF SPAIN. The Libcrte makes the announcement that the Pro visional Government has at last made up its mind. " From the most positive information on this subject we are able to affirm that the Prince de Carignan is the candidate of Prim, Serrano, and his colleagues. It is to this Prince that the throne of Isabella is destined, provided always that the Cortes choose the monarchical form of government. King Victor has refused to counte nance the candidature of the _Duke of Aosta." The chosen candidate is Albert Victor, Duke of Genoa, and only son of Ferdinand, the brother of King Victor. The present Duke was born in 1854. His father died the following year. THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. The intelligence we received by Atlantic Cable, that fifty Creole planters had joined the insurgent party, proves that the outbreak must have assumed very serious pro portions, and that it is still far from being suppressed. We are, inieed, informed also that 400 insurgents have laid down their arms, and that the Government has proved victorious in another skirmish; but the first portion of the telegram must be deemed of the greater importance. It is hardly likely that the planters—those who have most at stake in the island, and who must be most interested in the preservation of order—would have joined a rising un less they were convinced that it was making way. The owners and the, cultivators of land are always the last to countenance revolution. It is probable that the planters remained neutral until the insurrection became so formidable as to render it necessary that they should decide for one of the two parties. The Times Philadelphia correspondent says that finance at Savannah is altogether out of joint. The price of slaves has declined from 20 to 25 per cent, since the insurrection commenced. This lastis a very significant symptom, for the abolition of slavery is one of the war•cries of the insurgents. Of course, the difficulty of getting any news except that supplied from Govern ment sources, prevails in this as in all other cases of insurrection. But our telegrams and the letters of corre spondents all point to ene conclusion—the Government is acting wholly on the defensive, and the rebels are con ducting the attack. TURKEY *ND GREECE. The accounts from Eastern Europe do not agree as to the probability of Greece acceding to the demands of Turkey. The French journals publish a telegram through Trieste stating that a portion of the Greek army has already received orders to concentrate on the frontier. It is reported that thirty battalions of volunteers will be raised. The journals of Athena are full of bellicose articles, and the populace is so excited and so much disposed for a war, that it is doubtful whether the Government can resist the pressure of public opinion. The Liberta learns that the Greek Government has declared that it cannot accept the propositions of the Porte without endangering public order and even the throne itself. Other accounts point to the conclusion that the difficulty will be solved by Greece accepting only a portion of the ultimatum. The Independance Beige says the Porte has not sent an ultimatum, but a simple demand, the rejection of which will be followed only by the suspension of diplomatic relations, and not necessarily by a war. The Ottoman Government has given up the idea of ordering all Greeks to quit Turkish territory. GERMAN Y. The Wiirtemberg Chambers seem disposed to resist the Prussianising of their country—albeit that process if carried on much more slowly than in the neighbouring State of Baden. The balance of public opinion in these smaller German States varies much according to circumstances. In Baden, which is situated near the French frontier, the fear of French aggrandisement is always uppermost, and the Liberal party, which advo• cites union with Prussia, is predominant. But in "Mir temberg, where the danger from France is much smaller, the democratic party, which favours the Federal system as practised in Sw:tzerland, is in the ascendant. INDI-L The news of the famin3 is much the same. The reports from the Central Provinces are more encouraging, but the intelligence from the Punjilb grows decidedly worse. On the whole there is no improvement in the general harvest prospects. The Times of India is assured that several months must elapse before the famine-stricken districts can get out of their trouble. The papers brought by the overland mail were anticipating the great battle in Affghanistan which has already been announced by telegraph. It terminated in a victory for Shere Ali, the reigning Ameer. These victories, however, do not seem to count for much in Affghanistan. The victor never will, and seldom can, follow up his victory, and the vanquished, quickly raising another army, returns to the scratch after a short interval. Abdul 'Rahman, the defeated opponent of Shere Ali, is beset with treachery and defection, and has just been overwhelmed by defeat. But he is a chief of great activity and resolution, and we shall probably hear of him again in the front before long. This internecine conflict has prevented the interview between Shere Ali and Sir John Lawrence, from which so much was reason ably expected; and the same cause must always retard that important diplomatic work, the establishment of friendly relations between India and Affghanistan. A despatch from Cincinnati, dated Nov. 27, says United States Commissioner Halliday rendered his decision to-day in the case of John M. Pugh, Probate Judge of Franklin County, accused of issuing fraudulent natu ralization papers. Judge Pugh has boon bound in $5,000 to appear before the United States Circuit Court. Vice-President Colfax has set the example in going in for two great events at the same time, and he has many humble imitators, of whom Congressman Robert E. Schenck is ono, who is going to be married before Con gress meets, and also intends to start a new paper at his home at Dayton, Ohio, having quarrelled with the jour nal, the present Republican paper. . _ The New YorlJ Commercial Advertiser denies the story that Mr. Thurlow Weed intends spendin; the winter in Washington. Mr. Weed's health is so bad that ho cannot leave the city, nor even engage in any business. We can readily believe this, as, when he left Edwards' Cambridge Hotel, Hanover-square, London, ho was i❑ very delicate health. The papers which failed in suppressing Benjamin Butler have taken to killing him, and stories of his dan gerous illness have been going the rounds. The Boston Journal contradicts these rumours. " lie was, it says, out the other day attending to business, and with the ex ception of hoarseness, which prevents him from public speaking, is in excellent health." Congressman elect C. IV. Willard, of Montpel lier, Vermont, is in Minnesota for the benefit of his health, which is improving, and he expects to return home i❑ a short time.—William G. Shaw has been chosen city judge at Burlingtou.—Major Henry Bronson, formerly of Rut land, and late Quartermaster of the 12th Regiment, has been appointed general freight agent of the Union Pacithi Railroad, with headquarters at Omaha. An eminent American physician says that the Wall-street stock jobbers produce more lunatics than any other class of people in the country. The Right Rev. Henry C. Lay has been elected Bishop of the new Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Easton, Md. Pym, Bolingbroke, Chatham, and Bright are said by Goldwin Smith to be the four great orators of English history. The lion. S. Pendleton, formerly member of Congress from Virginia and Minister to Chili, died at Cul pepper Court House, Virginia, Nov. 19. A doubt has arisen in Washington whether the position of the United States Minister to Russia, held by Cassius M. Clay, is vaca•it or not. Some time ago Mr. Clay sent in his resignation, which was accepted by the Secretary of State. Shortly afterwards, however, Mr. Clay transmitted a second communication stating that he had reconsidered his action, and desired to withdraw the resignation. The question is exciting attention, end se veral interesting and difficult points of law must be con sidered before a decision can be arrived at.

WEXFORD WATERFORD COUNTY WATERFORD CITY.. WESTMEATII WEXFORD COUNTY WICKLOW TIIE t'AVI7 Y OF THE AMERICAN CON TIN EN 7. (Franz the Anglo-American Times.) As Americans never approach this subject with out being accusedlof highfaluten, spread-eagleism, and buncombe, and sneered at as holding the theory of the " Manifest Destiny," it is refreshing to fol low the steps of a clever, keenly observant young English member of Parliament, the author of the late book of travels, which he has well designated the "Greater Britain." There never was a stronger holder, of the manifest destiny theory than Mr. CHARLES WENTWORTH DIL'KE, member for Chel sea to the British House of Commons. He considers North America to be geographically so constituted that it can form but one nation. Where are the boundaries in a valley penetrating the heart of the continent, and watered by streams navigable for 28,000 miles? The configuration is such as to make the country essentially and unchangeably one, thus stamped by the hand of its MAKER. This territory is possessed by a race so rapidly increasing that if the pres..mt ratio be maintained the inhabitants in 60 years will number 250,000,001, all moulded into the type given by the early English colonists, which is eventually assutne4 by all comers. Mr. DILKE takes a view regarding Canada which Englishmen may consider peculiar, though it has been advocated by us since the establishment of this paper. We need then scarcely state that in our opinion his view is correct, and we earnestly hope it may have a con siderable influence );)n his countrymen, but not too late for action—as so often happens with them. After glancing through the chapter on Canada, we turned to an article in the issue of this paper, March 7, 18G8, among others, and the identity of the con clusions was manifest. In following, then, this author we are but following iu our own track. The Canadian exclaims, " Help us for ten years to be come ten millions, when we can stand alone ;" but the difficulty is in reaching the ten millions, and no country furnishes a better instance than Canada itself. Every species of puffery to draw immigrants, every effort of detraction of the great Republic to divert the emigration from it to the Dominion, has been practised, with what result Mr, DILKE con temptuously tells. " The Provincial Government thus seems confess to the world," he adds, " that Canada can live only by running down the United States." "For such Government there is no pretext, except the wishes of the governed, who gain by the connection even for their defence, and the opportunity of gratifying their spite for their neighbours at our expense. Those who ask why a connection so one-sided, so opposed to the best interests of our race, should be suffered to con tinue, are answered, now that the argument of prestige' is given up, that the Canadians are loyal and that they hate the Americans, to whom, were it not for us, they must inevitably fall. That the Canadians hate the Americans can be no rea son why we should spend blood and trea sure in protecting them against the consequences of their hate. The world should have passed the time when loyal dislikes can be suffered to effect our policy towards the other sections of our race; but even were it otherwise, .it is hard to see how twelve thousand British troops or a royal standard raised at Ottawa can protect a frontier of two thousand aides in length from a nation of five and-thirty millions. Canada, perhaps, can defend herself, but we most certainly cannot defend her ; we provoke much more than we assist." "At bottom, it would seem that no one gained by the retention of our hold on Canada. Were she inde pendent her borders would never again he wasted by Fenian hordes, and she would escape the terrible danger of being the battle-field in which Euro pean quarrels are fought out. Canada once Re publican, the MONROE doctrine would be satisfied, and its most violent partisans would cease to advo cate the adoption of other than moral means to merge her territories in the Union." . . . "O❑ the other baud, there is nothing stranger than the narrowness of mind that has led us to see in Canada a piece of England, and in America a hostile coun try. There are more sons of British subjects in America than in Canada by far, and the Americans look upon the old country with a pride that cannot be shared by a man who looks to her to pay his soldiers. The independence of Canada wont,' put an immediate end to much of the American jealousy of Great Britain—a consideration NI Bich of itself should outweighs any claim to protection which the Canadians can have on us. The position which we have to set before us in our external dealings is that we are no more fellow-countrymen of the Canadians than of the Americans of the North or West." These are new ideas for Britishers to ponder over. The author has travelled around the world as we did, and like ourselves found everywhere the domi nance of people speaking the English tongue. Our conclusions are identical, and that arrived at by all thoughtful, unprejudiced men who have seen as much when they cease to be bound by imaginary lines marking off States and Dominions, and accept and identify themselves in all its breadth with the destiny of the race, rising superior to the narrow nesses which so hamper mankind and deter the speedy accomplishment of the future in store. In deed we have cause to be thankful that vicious idiots have now little chance of throwing back the ad vance, for the increasing enlightenment of England on American affairs is producing an effect which it will be bard for Fenians and other haters of the race to counterac'. We have at times been applied to, as the Anglo-Saxon piper, a name we consider a compliment, though American unity is broad enough for us, for there the grandest f uture will be developed, though other nations planted by England, may thrive vigorously elsewhere. There is a simple and very forcible way for Englishmen to regard this subject. They cannot henceforth prevent it by any efforts, even if the Civil War once gave them the chance, which we do not believe. Allowing that what we cannot help is disagreeable, there is none the less necessity for meeting and making the best of the position; therefore, whether it be or be not injurious to the interests of Great Britain that the Republic should rule from Aspin wall to Alaska, it must be recognize I as a future which cannot be. controlled. But would be in jurious ? and if so, how ? Canada would be no loss, the Hudson's Bay Territory would be sold, and even the rumour, would enhance the value of the shares. The possessions on the Pacific Coast cannot even provide decently for half a dozen younger sons, and the supposed loss would really on investigation prove a gain, as Mr. DILKE as serts. But what about the future? There, in the gloom visible to the eye of the Englishman stalks the ghost of a gigantic Columbia treading down the Lilliputians around upon whom she puts her foot, crushing them almost without seeing them. It is a positive fact that England's policy in this matter is governed by some such vision the nation is legislating on a distempered dream. Now let us take the testimony of this Englishman of the Republic's course upon a doctrine, as dear to it, almost as life, for from the past we can better fore tell the future—" In all history nothing can be more dignified than the action of America upon the MONROE doctrine. Since the principle was first laid down in words in 1823, the national action has been courteous, consistent, firm ; the language used now that America is all-powerful is the same that her statesmen used during the rebellion in the hour of her most instant trial ; it would be hard for political philosophers of the future to assert, a De mocratic Republic can have no foreign policy." This nightmare removed, and Britannia convinced that she can walk haud in hand with Columbia without being snubbed and bullied by her cousin, however great and wealthy she may gro v, then the policy of North American ulity wit soon be recngnized, as far as the States now desire that it should be. There is nothing more preposterous than the action of Canada ; it is like a little cur snarling at a large good-natured Newfoundland, whose angry action, would effect its instant annihi lation. True, it has a friend in another big dog, who allows it scraps with bad grace, under the de lusion that in snarling at its big rival the small dog shows its friendliness. But, unfortunately (indeed it might be fortunate in case of a row), its Lie. e , friend is chained to its kennel, an d cou ld d o b ut little to save the provoking cur. Mr. DILEE re marks on the folly of Canadian statesmen in fos tering this feeling, as well as on the folly of the Canadian sympathy for the rebellion, showing that Canada, instead of being wiser and understanding the position better, as might have been expected from her proximity, was more wrong even than Eng land during that period. " Had Great Britain," says Mr. DILKE, "left them to their own devices, we should have had war with America in the spring of 1866." Now, at what does Canada aim in this senseless course? We may point to two instances as show ing, in an extraordinary degree, the perversity of human nature. Here are the majority of Irish in an island alongside of England panting to be an nexed to the States, an arrangement nature bas prohibited, and ruinous to Ireland, Hulot destruc tive to the British empire. There is Canada bordering for 2,000 miles along the frontier of the States, engaged in a vain effort to erect itsAf into an independent nation, propped up by England, while every motive of economy, prosperity, secu rity, and grandeur should induce the C Anadians to enter the Union as States. Surely it would be wig) in both, the one heartily to amalgamate with Grcat Britain, the other to enter the Union. Is the unity of the American Continent, the darling idea of all true Americans south of the St.Lawrence,nothing in the American north of tlw St. Lawrence? Are Ca nadians to reproduce along that frontier the mise ries only excusable in Europe by the issue there of races from their chrysalis of barbarism, with their frowning forts and threatening gunboats—with their custom-house otficiali and barriers,with their changed laws and differing currencies ? The mind of the Southerner, debauched by slavery, fostered a perni cious notion which overwhelmed in him the American sentiment of unity ; but there is no such reason to the north of the St. Lawrence for a feeling antago nistic to this grand Anglo-Saxon idea. We believe that it gains ground in England, and thit it will receive an impetus from Mr. DILKE'S book, which will be trkore,widely read even than was HEPWORTU DIXON'S "New America." The great - object is to teach the people on both sides that they are one race ; when even a unity so mighty as that of Aine rica may be succeeded by a still greater union, that of the English-speaking peoples, which, as Mr- DILKE, asserts, will one day possess the world. so, and the bond of brotherhood can be established , what was commenced on the American Continent will extend throughout the globe. The Sherman House at Syracuse,•with a number of stores and offices adjacent, was burned to the grou nd November 13. The loss is estimated at about $130,000; insurance $65,000.
