THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Reports are prevalent," mays the Press, "that
serious mirondmetendinge have arisen at Csknits between
the Governer-Gameral end the Commander-in-Chief. No
serious miaundintandinge exist. Sir Colin Campbell bee
ray properly resented an imprudent and uncalled-for at-
tempt to limit his authority over the army. The country
may rest soured that Sir Colin Campbell is not the man
either to exceed hie powers or to permit them to be en-
croached upon. At the WOO time It fa not to be concealed
that the premoce in the meson at Cakotte of them petty
jealousies and impertinent eammptiona upon the part of men,
sot only utterly ignorant of war, but who have proved
themselves so Incapable in a aisle demanding that decision
debated& for which Sir Colin Campbell is pre-eminent, is
deeply to be deplore,. It may paralyse the most vigorous
smaanne of the Gasend-fn-Chid, and so hamper the opera-
tions of the campaign es to expose him to defeat end dbeeter
instead of that victory and mucous he will have • right to
wiped. With reference to the command of the cavalry in
it is believed that Load George Paget, in pmferince
to General Scarlet, or to General Jackson at the Cape, will
be esimeed."

Referring to the apprehensions expressed by a
portion of the foreign press relative to the reunite at Stmt.
gardt, the Sawlay Societe remark; that " these petty
panics are generally the work of a race of pestilent
grammes, who Infest ccmtinantal journalien, but born

fidential valet and a cleave d'efaires. With all

especially that the meeting of the Emperor Almendro with

The Leader thinks that the vegetarians and total
abstainers have been deprived al one of their beet arguments

We read in the Weekly Dispatch :—" The ' con
'clam mosey' paid to the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
some index to the moral satas:ol the nation. Punch makes
• joke of it; we regard it with pride and hope. It shows
the strength of the 'mall gIN voice' among us. It marks
the lusty vigour of our virtue. Taxation is a spede• of obli-
gation about which the notions of mankind am proverbially
loose. A payment to Sir Cornwall Lean most, indeed, indi-
cate the throes of an over-mastering virtue. Here is another
tone of the same spirit, from that epitome of the hopes, foam,
and panicsa, the wants sad wishes of the world, the edvertising
columns el the Dew Never too Late to Mend.—lf any

cellos, Loudon, to be kept till called for.' Since 1836, br
twenty-one long years, has this secret sin retailed in the
repentant heart. Like the ball In the wounded soldier that
the surgeon's art could not probe, it weighs upon the systeme
but is cast out at last. 'Were really stolen by the deer-
time.' She will not only restore, bat make confession. Re-
stitution is not enough, nor repentance, she must render
every 'jot and tittle of her shame and confusion of face to

the prophet ; baler still, this penitent has found out her sin."
