assume us that the !french Governmunt have
learnt from their charge d'affairer at Washington
that most people are getting weary of war with
the Confederates, except those who are making
fortunes by it; while from New York we learn
that the Douglas and BreckinUidge sections of
the democratic party have been bolding meetings
in that city, at which all minor differences have
been satidactorily adjusted, in order that a
united democratic opposition to Lincoln's Govern-

CANADIAN AFFAIR& —The American preen is
urging upon Canada, in the moat preming
manner, to put herself under the protection of
the government of the Federal States. Their ,
argnments for adopting such a course may well
raise a smile from the inhabitants of these
Isles. The Canadians are told that by
joining the Federation they would "he in-
sured exemption from all the horrors of
war ;" that they would "be saved the enormous
expense the mother country is trying to impose
upon them in the way of fortifications; that they
would have "the boon of absolute free trade
with the United States;" that they would have
"the benefit of Yankee energy and capital to
develop their resources ;" and lastly, "they
would gain a share in the destiny of the great
Yankee tuition." We know not whether the
last mentioned "reason" is intended as a joke,
but certainly the destiny awaiting the Federal
States—an enormous debt cruel conscription, Mid
the establishment of a military despotism—is not
one *lnch many out of bedlam would be willing

'The population is more than double, if serfs be

Poland for • thousand years constituted • great

but those of apprehension for the future, and

THE Eirerretine IROF-WADO.--Goverliment,
it is understood, inconsideration of the represen-
tations of the Federal agents calling themselves
"the Emancipation ty," have made up
their elinlli not to ilkl* the two Beam-rams
konstrieted in Mears. Lairres yard at Birken-
head to leave the Mersey unless satisfactory
evidence can be furnished that they are not built
for the Confederate Government, nor likely on
some merely colourable pretence to find their
way into that service. It is true the vessels have
not been formally wined, but a distinct intima-
tion has been conveyed to the builders that they
will be anted Should Webs Step become
necessary. The Government have no doubt
resolved to take this step (ruin motives of
policy. They wish to conciliate the Yankee
Government and nation, although they can
scarcely apprehend that In the event of an appeal
to the tribunals they will be afore successful ip
the case of theee ironolldti than the* wets tie
that of the Aleiantlli They may detain the
vessels for a time, but that, we suppose, will be
all. But ought the Executive to put these
trammels on our ship builders, and thus divert
the ship-building trade to other nations I The
fCconotnist,in an excellent article on this subject,
says:—" No ephemeral object of political ez-
pedieney can be so momentous es the eseurng to
Great Britain the supremacy in such a branch of
trade as the construction of ships of war. No
temporary danger can be so great as the suffer-
ing this supremacy toper out of our hands. All
our efforts should be directed to make ourselves
the great war ship-builders in the world, to
'surpass all liville, to engross all orders, to
prevent any serious competition from springing
up elsewhere. Every fresh experience of actual
warfare, every fresh development of naval and
military seems, alike point to the conclusion
that Iron-clads, and steam-rams, and Monitors,
and war-vessels of yet undreamed construction,
will hereafter be the most formidable instrn-
manta both for attack and defence; and that the
nation that can build theee best, can build them
fattest., can build them in the greatest tiumbers,
Will hare a superiority inalienable, unaccessible
and decisive over all other nations. e need
tee superiority more than any other country,
because we are richer, and more envied, more
eommercial, and with more extensive and scat-
tered domains than any other • and because we
are more maritime and ices military than most
other great Powers. We have this superiority
now ; we have every motive for retaining it;
we have every facility for clinging to it, augment-
ing it, improving it with ;Limonite and uncontested
supremacy. If our vessels of war are in all
respects the best ?tat can be made anywhere—
if they are newer, better designed, better con-
structed, more formidable and resistless—we
shall gradually acquire something like a virtual
monopoly in the art---an art, in the present un-
fortunate stote of the world, about the most
important and lucrative that any nation can
practice. With such • virtual monopoly we
shall be safe. To the acquisition of such a
virtual monopoly all the exertions of our scien-
tific engineers, all the enterprise of our manufac-
turing firma, all the encouragement and facilities
legitimately affordable by our government,
ought to be directed in unison. It is not merely
the establishment of • profiable branch of trade
that is at stake—it is the future security and
poses of our !rabic laud. If we are right in the
high estimate we form of the national value of
unquestioned preponderance in the shipwright's
art—and who shall say that we are wrong?—
then surely the notion of hampering, or punish-
ing, or discouraging those who devote themselves
and their wealth and talents to its prosecution,
is the very last which an English Government or
Legislature should entertain ;—and to forego this
needed and desirable supremacy, or run any risk
of imparing it, or jeopardising it in any fashion,
for the sake of averting the anger of those who
were angry with us before the keel of the Florida
was laid, and who will be angry with us still if •
dozen Alessendres were to be seized, would be
the wretchedest bargain ever made on earth since
Emu sold his birthright for a guess of pottage.
The French Government, we may be quite
certain, would never dream of throwing away
natural advantages like ours for any such
motive, or by any such interference."
DITLOYACT AND Poroue.—The resources of
diplomatic logic in the cies of Poland have been
exhausted. Children are sometimes told that
the way to catch sparrows is to throw salt on
their tails; and the carriers of official salt boxes
of the three sympathising governments have
tried the experiment, but in vain. After a Tait
amount of labour spent in first-rate sentence-
making, and the interchange of sarcasms of the
finest quality, it has been discovered how useless
it is to try to throw salt on the tail of Moscovite
oppression: Prince Gortachakolf is brief, deci-
sive, and in terms as plain as a pike-staff, yet
without aombity tells the three Powers that they
had better mind their own business and let
Russia alone. This is just the result which we
predicted for diplomacy on the Polish question
six months ago. The fact is, the recommends,-
does and the demands made to the Czar pointed
to a compromise which Russia insisted would not
work, and had already been tried and failed,—
which the remonarants themselves could not
pretend to have much faith in,—and which the
Poles, on whose behalf they were urged, repu-
diated as utterly unsatisfactory and futile. The
Pules hated the Russians; the Russim.s were
determined to coerce and subdue the Poles, and
govern them sternly and despotically; it was
absurd, therefore, to insist on binding up these
two antagonists together on terms which left to
each certain powers, and a certain treaty-right
to follow out their respective aims. Nor are we
favourable to the city of armed intervention in
favour of Poland. When Hungary, assailed by
Austria end Russia, and with clear justice and
international right on her side, stretched out her
heads to na for aid and salvation, we simply
muttered the magic word "non-intervention,"
folded our arms, and calmly waited the con-
summation of the event. When Italy rose
against her tyrants, we felt the deepest interest
in her owes, but when the struggle came we
gave DO but encouragement and "moral
support." gave them our blessing, and bade
them "go in and win ;" wrote despatches in
their favour, and said, "be ye fed, be ye armed,
and he ye clothed,"—but left France to feed, to
arm, and to clothe them. On what plea then,
and with what decency and reason could we now
do for Poland what we would not do for Hungary
end Italy • few years ago? Poland has un-
doubtedly suffered barbarous and shameful
cruelties and manifold wrongs at the hands
of Russia, and wt, quite agree with Earl
Russell in laying up on the Meteorite govern-
ment the responsibility of whatever oonsequesmes
May ensue • but we are as clear that any armed

Rums Marcit.—The return match between ten
members of the Dorchester rid, corps and the same
number of die Wareham corps took place on the
ground of the latter on Friday. The weather was
beautifully fine, and we think the shooting on both
sides has never been equalled at any former matches
in the county, the scores being very high. The
o ntest was • most exciting one, but resulted in the
gallant shots of the D•rchester corps being the
winners by • majority of 5 points. A oonsidtrable
number of spectators were present, who seemed to
be deeply engrossed with the result of the shooting.
Mr. Watt, of the Antelope Inn, provided a good
spread on the ground for the occasion. As will be
seen from the following score, although the respec-
tive totals ware 489 and 480, on comparing the
targets with the register five marks had to be
deducted from the I) wchenter men, leaving 484, and
one from the Wareham man, making their sours 479,
the former beating the latter by five points.

WEYMOUT H. RIFLE M ATCH. Weibel •
day iunrniug ton of the crack shots of our rifle corps
proceeded to Wareham to contest the return match
between a similar number of the rifles of that town.
The weather might have been more favourable for
the contest, the wind blowing strongly across the left
of the range. The shooting, however, was first
class, but the representatives of the Weymouth
oo -pa were o iliged to succumb to the superi r shoot-
ing of their oppeoonts who beat them by 38 points.
Ruth parties are now on equal terms having each
gained a victory on their respective grounds. The
deciding match will take place at the rifle range of
the Weymouth corps, which event will proLably
take place on Monday, the 27th inst. The contest
at Wareham seemed to excite great interest, and
there was a numerous attendance of spectators, both
in carriages and on foot. The following is the

found asleep by P.C. Mitchell in a atable in King-street,
on Sunday morning. The fastening of the stable had
been removed, and was afterwards found in prisoner's
possession. He had no place of abode, and had fre-
quently been to the station craving permission to sleep
in one of the sell.. In defence prisoner essidlhe had
been in the country to work, and being late when he
came in the town he could not get a lodging, and went
Into the stable. He picked the padlock up in the street.
Sentenced to six weeks' hard labour.
Ditonitemegns.—Elenry Spencer, • seamen, sad • very
old offender, WM again brought up on the ueusd °harp
against him, namely, that of drunkenness and
swearing. The cam was proved by P.C. Apeey,
who said on Sunday night prisoner came to the
station and wanted to sleep in one of the cells.
On being told that the station was not • lodging
house, and ordering prisoner away, he became very
abusive. and refused to go, when the officer put him out
of the station by force. He then made use of very bad
language, and the officer took him in enatody.—The
Bench said the prisoner was issorrigible, and sentenced
Lim to a week's hard labour.
DIUNC•IIDII.—JIgosS Cadsly and William
Kooken, two bsys, were charged with being drunk and
dssorderly. The twee was proved by P.C. Short, but

VOMIT IIIeXTIXO.—A vestry meeting was held in St.
Mary's vestry room on Monday, for the portions of
granting • pariah rate towards the neoessery expenses of
the church for the current year. The chair warn taken
by the rector, the Rev. T. °reeves, and there was •
tolerably numerous attendance of parishioners. After
reading the notice *steeping the vestry, the Chairman
said he thought it right to remark that at the vestry
meeting held some time ago, it was proposed
that another veatty meeting should be called to
consider whathteps should be taxon to enforce payment of
a previous rate. Al ter the vestry meeting alluded to,
the churchwardens used their best endeavours to get in
: the rate, and they so far succeeded that they thought it
I MA not neassary to take any farther steps with
respect to the compulsory enforcement of payment of
the rate. The outstanding amounts were very small
1 2s. or da. or snots of that kind, although there
were some larger omit Most of the arrears, bow.
ever. had bean paid in. and on that acconnt it was not
thought neeneery to sell the pariah together again.—
Mr. Robertson, one of the churchwardens, submitted
the estimate of expenses from Heater, 1863, to Rater,
1864, amounting to C2Ol 18s., which included the
amount involved in legal expenses Last year. A bola",
of £l2 17a. 21. had been left from the charchwarditne
aomount of last year,and £9 12.6 d. had been receised on
moment of arrears. He now only asked the vestry foe
a rate, spinet which he thought there woeld not be •
diesentient voice, to grant • twopenny rate nom the
mteshle property, and lid. upon the poet Th, rate
had been made upon the mushl. value of property,
whereas in Mr. Commins's and Mr. Maundara'a time it
wait made upon the gross; but the amount would
be all the game. After payment of expenses the rate
would produce £l6B, and this, together with arrears
would be enough to meet the espenses of the year, and
leave • halante of i. 7.— Mr. Commins asked what were
the expenses last year 1-11 r. Robertson replied that
they amounted to C 166 10e. 6d., but out of the present
estimate law charges had to be paid, which ought to
bane come out of the previous rate. —Mr. Cummins hoped
that what the vestry would do now they would do
legally, so as not to have any complaint hereafter
C Thomas inquired if the Acme on the estimate
were strictly legal. -The rector said it was as lepl a
rate as could be made—Mr. R if. Eliot proposed that a
2d rate be granted for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the church for the current year. He said
It appeared to him • very moderate rite, and be hoped
there would not be one dissentient voice against it
Mr. T. Fooks seconded the proposition.—Yr Grant
asked if Dissenters would be compelled to pay the
rate If so on beha fof Dissenters, he was authorised
to my that they did not intend to pay the rate if it
was carried Upon the decision of ibis meeting they
intended to form themselves into • society for the pur-
pose at assisting all who might be distrained upon for
payment of it.—The Chairman then put Mr Eliot's
proesontion, when it sra• carried unanimously.—
Mr. Talbehtlroposed, and Mr. Commins mounded- a
vote of t to the Chairman, in responding to which
he said Churchmen ought to form themselves into one
large sonint7, to keep the law al the land so long am it
was the law
