THE AMERICAN DEBATE.

The Times does not see- that any harm has come of
this debate. Government cannot now be taunted with
not having faced the House. Nothing has been said to
hamper ministers or interfere with the proper settlement
of the question. The debate produced nothing likely to
exasperate the United States. Altogether, however, the
enlistment .affair was not one to extort a censure upon
the Government, and the attempt to convert it to this
purpose very properly failed.
The Times regards the division on the American question
as an indication that the House of Commons will not open
a quayrel which in some way or other has been closed—
that it will not throw unnecessary discredit on a com-
promise whin has been accepted—and that it will not
dive deeper into the question of the enlistment than the
American Government itself has done.

The jiaily News observes, that the time of the House
was west d in" discussing a concluded subject ; but there
would have been both sense and utility in a debate on
the still pending question of the Clayton Bulwer con-
vention.

N-B, AND N.B. PINE. AND SPRUCX DBALS.--There have tee t
few transactions in this article during the fortnight, the imports
being chiefly on dealers'. account, and sales are in a great measure
confined to retail; the sale of cargoes by private treaty not always
transdr.ng to the public. St. John deals. however, are worth
15s to £9 per standard according to quality and specification.
there teing a difference in vAti, of 5s to 7s 61 per standard in the
character of the g pods. 7by 3 deals are a derided objection to the
sale of a cargo. A small carao of good quality St John deals sold for
arrival at £8 18s 9d per standard. 'From other ports nothing of
any consequence has yet come f award this season, and the quota-
tions are nominal. The imports since Ist Feb. to this:date
