lloottx has redeemed his pledge, and the
Government have shown their Parliamentary
strength on the American Question. The PALMER-
STON Cabinet can command as many votes on a
motion of censure as they can when bringing
forward exorbitant peace supplies. But it does
not follow that because they had a majority of 194,
whose constituents, taken at an average of 10,000,
would not amount to 1,500,000 persons out of
27,000,000 of our population, that the large
surplus of the people of these realms
approve of their conduct Sn dealing with
the United States, or :that they think them less
culpable. It is necessary that a Cabinet should
stand high in Parliament, but it is equally indis-
pensible that it should have the support of a
very large majority of the public out of doors.
And those who have read the PREMIER'S speech
of Wednesday will be inclined to believe that his
government is more popular with the country
than they are with the Legislature. But
this would be falling into a woeful error
heir American policy is concerned.
,IDON had been suffered to continnp

as fa

his dogged and waspish correspondence without
reproof—if the noble Earl and his colleagues had
been encouraged in their arrogance, and could have
carried on their intrigues without detection, war
between the two countries must have been the
inevetable result.

Fortunately for humanity, the people of Eng.
land looked to what was going on in good time,
and to the determined protest they entered against
the conduct of our representatives in the States—
the tone of gur official despatches—and the
war fomenting tendency of the PALMERSTON
Ministry—our deliverance from further bloodshed
may be ascribed, and the majority of Ministers
accounted for. If the public voice had not been
raised in favour of peace, war must have ensued,
and if a contest with the Americans was now going
on, or war impending over our heads, are we to
suppose that the Ministry who had plunged or
threatened to involve us in such a disaster, would
have had a majority of 194 in favour of their con-
duct. The danger has happily passed away—the
Cabinet have been forced into moderation
by popular opinion, and though the result
of the division in the Commons is justified
by the change which has taken place in the aspect
of affairs, that change has not removed one particle
of the moral guilt which rests on the authors of the
dangers we have providentially escaped.
We were not dependent on the United States for
soldiers to fight our battles, and we had no right to
go there for recruits. Lord PALMERSTON knew how
to get British subjects to enlist. The House of

Commons knew how they could have drawn Eng
lishmen into the ranks still better, and yet Mr

CRAMPTON vas instructed to procure help, by some

means or other, from the States. The issuing of
these instructions was a gross diplomatic blun-
der, the bungling in their execution a proof of
unpardonable incapacity in those intrusted with
the job. The whole affair was in fact a shameless
exhibition of national weakness and administra
tive imbecility. This is candidly, the almost
unanimous opinion of the country ; and notwith-
standing all LORD PAL3IERSTON has said of

—Lord CLARENDON will busy himself a little
more about the abnormal state of things in coun-

Britain and Great Britain to go on in harmony
and mutual prosperity. There is no credit to be
gained by depriving the Americans of raiment and
the British people of food.
The lawless hand of despotism is filling its
dungeons with the innocence of the fairest
portions of Europe. Tragedies are being
enacted on the Continent which must end in
the bitterest lamentations, if something be
not done, and quickly, to stay the waste or
merciless tyrants and presumptuous fools. We
have no right to intermeddle in the affairs of other
countries, but all that vigilance our Foreign Secre-
tary bestows on the United States, and all the
space and labour the London Times devotes to
making America appear what she really is not—a
land wholly abandoned to a lawless rabble—

There has again been a very active Cotton
Market, and a good business has been done at
full prices, the sales reaching 10,000 bales, of
which fully 8,000 have been taken by the trade.
The Liverpool Share Market opened this
morning with a strong feeling, but during
the day became easier, and left off firm

Great Luxembourg,

ae following report of the London

The general character of the market has remained in a
similar state to that represented in our last, and there has
been no disposition to make sales unless at full rates.
Business last month was transacted to a greater extent
than could have been anticipated (conaiderimr, the reduced
state of stock of all descriptions), and sales may be taken

at nearly 1,000 hhds-400 hhds leaf; and 600 hhds strips.
Recent advices from the United States fully confirm the
statements we gave on the 2ud ultimo, respecting the
make of strips, and the estimated supply to make up this
year's export. Various opinions are expressed as to the
present differences with this country, but the general tone
of the mercantile interest may be gathered from the fol-
lowing extract:—." It is a very sad state of trouble, dis-
cord, and confusion through which we are now passing, in
consequence of the unwise and ruinous measures of our
present administration of government ; but we shall
weather the storm, and settle down upon some compro-
mise, eventually, no doubt."

Advices fr6m the Mauritius, by way of Suez, to
the 21st April, report an active trade in sugar with
Australia, but a dull business with England, on
account of the fall reported at the beginning of
Spring. The crop of sugar this year is said to be
more deficient than any which has happened for
some time. It is calculated at about 102,000 tons,
being 5,000 tons less than last season—which also
was a deficient crop. The cause of this has been
the ravages of a disease in the canes during the
flowering season. The exports of sugars of this
year's crop from the port of the Mauritius to
foreign countries up to the 31st March, was as
follows :

United Kingdom 149,130,327 Ibs
France 7,126,508 "
Cape of Good Hope 2,809,149 "

Australian Colonies 20,138,207 "
Other Colonies 302,964 "

Total 175,507,155 lbs.
Freights had fallen considerably, and ranged from
13.75 p. to 14 371 p. to Great Britain. The rates
for Australia were nomEnal at 15p., all the vessels
laid on for those colonies having sailed; and for
the Cape of Good Hope they were quoted at 10p.
The cholera was still raging at Port Louis and in
the country. Great distress was expected, and
want of labour in the colony.
Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, has
published his usual monthly list of vessels now on
the berth for Australia, New Zealand, &c. The
following are the particulars of the number of ves-
sels and the tonnage to sail during the present
month :

THE EAST

Advices from Marseilles, dated Tuesday evening,
announce news from Constantinople to the date of
the 23rd ultimo. From this we learn that Aali
Pacha had succeeded, during his sojourn at the
Austrian Court, in effecting an arrangement by
which the Principalities will continue to remain
separated.

companies which ever met in Glasgow assembled in the
City Hall to do honour to the distinguished hero of a
hundred fights, Major-General Sir Colin Campbell. The
excitement in the city was most intense, and when the
cortege reached the Royal Exchange in Queen-street, the
carriage containing the illustrious warrior was surrounded
by thousands of his enthusiastic admirers, who applauded
him most vociferously at every stage.

The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by the Righ
Hon. the Lord Provost, who was supported on the righ
by Sir Colin Campbell, Sir Archibald Alison, Bailie
Wright, and Bailie Young; and on the left by Bailie
Hannan, Bailie Thomson, Bailie Clouston, and Bailie
Taylor.

The Lord Provost rose," amid applause, and in an
appropriate speech adverted to the event of the day.
His Lordship then handed the burgess ticket to Sir Colin,
enclosed in a handsome box of solid gold, amid great
applause.

Sir Colin Campbell, on receiving the diploma, said : My
Lord Provost, ladies, and gentlemen, on arriving to-day
in my native city, after an absence of upwards of half a
century, it has become my lot to receive this civic honour,
and it is also intended to confer another honour of a mili-
tary kind. (Cheers.) These both coming from my towns-
men, it is hard to say which I value most highly; I can
say that I shall always be ready to draw the sword, about
to be presented to me, in defence of my freedom. (Great
applause.) I shall always value, as I ought to do, highly

every possible way to do my duty to my country. Sir
Colin sat down amid tremendous cheering.
Sir Archibald Alison, amid much applause, rose and
said—Sir Colin Campbell, you have just received from
the Lord Provost and magistrates of this city the highest
honour which they have it in their power to bestow. It
is now my honoured privilege to present to you a testi-
monial of another description—a sword, the gift of six
thousand of your grateful countrymen, in token of admi-
ration of your distinguished services and respect for your
manly character. (Applause.) Sir Archibald then, in a
long and animated oration, concluded by saying am
confident that, should the storms of war again arise, the
sword which I now present to you will again be drawn in
defence of your country, and again achieve deeds an
example to all future times, and which will live for ever in
its grateful recollection; and however feeble may have
been my expression of the feelings with which at this
moment all in this vast assembly are animated, I am con-
fident that the applause which will follow your reception
of it will cause you to feel for a moment "the electric
shack of a nation's gratitude." (Applause.)
When the learned Sheriff presented the sword, the
whale audience rose to their feet, and gave three hearty
and enthusiastic rounds of cheering.
V.; S r Colin Campbell then rose and. said—Sir Archibald,
and fe110.7 countrymen, I was quite unprepared for the
eloquent manner in which this honour has been done me.
(Applause) I can never forget the reception I have met
with on this occasion, and the honours which have been
conferred on me, surpassing, in amount of recompense, all
the services I have been able to perform. (Great
cheering.) There is another party- who ought not to be
forgotten on this occasion. I owe all this to my hardy
veteran soldiers of the Highland Brigade—(cheers)—and
to them is the honour due for what you have now con-
ferred on me. This should not be forgotten, that these
are conferred in their name as well as my own. (Tre-
mendous cheering.)

NEW WATER FILTERS —FORSTER'S PATENT.—One of
the greatest of human luxuries, especially at the present
season, is a wholesome draught of pure water. However
impure the original liquid, this luxury is ensured to those
who—wisely for themselves—adopt the use of " Forster's
Patent Rapid Water Purifier." In addition to purifica-
tion, this invaluable invention presents a further advan-
tage—that of rendering the water deliciously cool—a
great desideratum in all warm climates, and even in our
own, as evidenced by the few days' hot weather we have
already experienced. The testimonials received by the
patentee from the many highly respectable individuals,
who have either tried or adopted his invention, furnish a
guarantee of its complete success; and looking at the
portable form, the economy of labour, the luxury it
supplies, we cannot doubt but that it' the advantages it
secured were but generally known, its adoption wouldjbe
universal.

On the other hand, we learn that the Moldavian
population have expressed an adverse opinion in
most unmistakeable terms.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER INDIAN

The Montreal Ocean Steam Ship Company's
screw steamer, Indian, Captain Jones, arrived in
the Mersey yesterday morning. She left Quebec
on Saturday the 21st June, and has made the run
in the space of 10 days and 7 hours. She brings
70 cabin and 54 steerage passengers, and a
quantity of specie. On the 23rd, she exchanged
signals with the s.s. Anglo Saxon, in lat. 49 54
north, 59.33 west. The Indian was detained 12
hours in the ice. She spoke the Nile, of Glasgow,
bound for Batavia, abreast of Torry Island,
By the Indian we have files of Quebec and Mon-
treal papers to the 21st of June, and from them
we learn that on the 1911], the House of Assembly
concurred in the resolutions appropriating
4,000,000 acres of land for the construction of the
Quebec and Lake Huron railroad—Yeas, 56; Nays,
33. The concurrence of the house in Mr. Cayley's
Grand Trunk resolutions was also taken, and the
bill read a first time—majority, 16. The Religious
Incorpoaations bill has been rejected in the Legis-
lative Council by a vote of Bto 5. We annex the
latest report of the timber trade :
The arrivals from sea have not been numerous of late,
although, compared with last year to this date, there is a
considerable increase in the amount of tonnage. A good
number of vessels are due, and when they arrive they
may give some animation to the trade, which is very dull,
owing in a great measure to the unsatisfactory state of
the market in a,gland. Rafts are daily arriving, and,
until the last few days, have been taken pretty freely at
prices varying from 411 to 7d for inferior to ordinary
timber, very few superior having arrived; some sales of
last year's timber have been made in the Raft at 'lid to
8&d.

-.-
Our weather continues dry, and, without doubt, much
timber intended for the Quebec market will not get down
this season.

RED PINE is selling in small quantities at lld for 40 feet.
Oak is selling by the dram at 181, and as yet very little
has come to market, although the stock of old is large.
ELM is in demand for 40 feet average, which brings our
highest quotation in shipping order.
TAMARAC is dull, both for square and flatted, while ash
and birch are scarce and enquired for.
SravEs—although dull of sale—are held firmly at £62
lOs to 462 for all pipe, and £l6 for West India.
DEALS are high, especially for Ist quality, but it is
difficult to effect sales by the specification.
FREIGHTS are dull, vessels having been taken at 29s for
Liverpool; but for London they are in better request at
.45 15s. FORSYTH, BELL & CO.
