r. Prince. To Canada a million in the same way means
great deal. Our whole revenue, by Mr. Cayley's esti-
mates, is only £1,552,500—in ;round numbers one million.
and-a-half. A. million thus pays two-thirds of all our
yearly expenses—of Mr. Cayley's jobs and those of his
friends—of the Baby Contracts—of the Fortin squadron,
and of all the mutitudinous items involved in a year's life
of a nation. But we owe not one million, but eight—more
than twenty times the amount of the public debt of Bri-
tain at the time of the Revolution, and our yearly payments
of interest on the huge sum are more than the whole debt
of that period. If this be not enough to make us pause,
what is ? Whither are we drifting ? With such financiers
as Mr. Cayley, how :far ahead is the final ruin of our
credit, and the hopeless wreck of our resources ? We
shall soon have to issue Provincial post obits as a legacy
to the next generation. All that the present race can
bear will be laid on them till they sink to the dust under
the load. The genius of incapacity and ignorance in the
person of the Inspector-General and his colleagues will
leave us helplessly stripped of our resources in a country
which calls for more than we have ever had to develop its
riches—will leave capitaljparalysed, industry struck help-
less, and a people stationary and poor, where they might
have been advancing and powerful. There is one light in
which the relative greatness of our public debt may be
viewed, that deserves our calmest regard. From its
revenue Britain pays a little more than a third for interest
on a national debt, that is the wonder of the world. The
interest on our national debt bears very nearly the same
proportion to our revenue. From a million and a half we
have to pay four hundred and seventy-five thousand
pounds interest yearly, without providing at all for
any means of ultimate redemption. Adding the sinking
fund, we pay more than a third of our whole Provincial
income to meet the yearly claims of our debt I I If any
one had told us that we were as deeply mortgaged as Bri.
tain in proportion to our means, how indignantly would
we have repelled the assertion. Have not many left
Britain from the social evils which the great expenses of
the State involved—the taxes on everything which sur-
rounded the Englishman from his cradle to his grave.
And yet in how much better a position has the present
Government with its four million gift, its bribery and
corruption, left us. Let the present state of things in
the country and the present tariff answer. With the
present House we need have no hope of a change for the
better.—Toronto Globe.

The Daily News characterises the conduct of the
electors of Paris as remarkably firm and temperate, and
on the whole encouraging. The unsc upulons zeal of the
authorities has barely succeeded in hounding 110,425
voters for the government, less than one-third of the
registered electors of Paris to the ballot boxes. Although
an unequivocal declaration had gone forth that govern-
ment would hold all the electors who did not declare for it
to be against it, 143,276 stood sullenly aloof, and 90,199
recorded their votes against the government. In other
words, more than two-thirds of the electors of Paris,
239,475, have demanded the reality of parliamentary
government, and of that number 90,199 have declared
their preference for opposition candidates.

Yesterday, a deputation from the American Chamh,r of
Commerce waited on Captain Hudson, on board the United
States frigate Niagara, to welcome him on his arrival in
the Mersey, and to convey the invitation of the Chamber
to a banquet. The following gentlemen formed the depu-
tation :—William Rathhone, T. B. Barclay. H. Stolte, -
fah% F. A. Hamilton, Charles Pickering, George Warren,
Robert Grinnell, H. C. Chapman, and G. J. auxin,
Esqrs.

On Wednesday, the registered steam tonnage which left
Southampton for foreign countries amounted to 11,750
tons, the largest amount of tonnage that was ever know n
to leave one port in a single day for foreign ports. [The
above is from the Manchester Examiner. It often happens
that as much as from 30,000 to 50,000 tons of shipping
leaves Liverpool in one day for foreign ports. Bat our
cotton-spinning Mews are prejudiced against the port,
and we may thus excuse the blunder.]
APPREHENSION of Ma. GREGORT.—This delinquent,
who, it will be recollected, carried on business in the
Borough as an oil and pickle merchant, has, we under-
stand, been arrested in Liverpool, where he has been
residing for some time in the hope of getting a passage to
the colonies. He, however, was too closely watched to
effect his object, and being now in the hands of the police,
will be taken to London in safe custody, and undergo an
examination on the charge of defrauding his creditors.
PRESENTATION,—A very handsome gilded time-piece,
manufactured by Mr. Wells, Bold-st-eet, has been preqen-
ted to the Rev. William Ffolliott, of St. Michael's, by the
children of the Confirmation Class attached to that church.
The testimonial bears the following inscription —" Presen-
ted to the Rev. Wm. Ffolliott, 8.A., by the Members of
the Confirmation Class, as a mark of gratitude for his
valuable instructions. June 22nd, 1857." This beauti-
fully wrought gift was purchased wholly by the subscrip-
tions of the children,

BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB—SECOND SAILING•
MATCH OF THE SHASOL—These matches will ccme 6ff on
Saturday next, the 27th instant, on which occasion one
of the Woodside Ferry steamers will accompany the
yachts sailing in the matches. The steamer will leave
the Landing-stage, Prince's Pier, at one o'clock, p.m.,
and the Woodside Pier at half-past one. The starting-
point will be north of the Woodside Pier, and the prome-
nade at Woodside Ferry presents one of the best views ou
the river for seeing the start, race, and final close of the
same.

CORONER'S COURT.—The Coroner held the following
inquests yesterday —On the body of Caroline Hooper,
aged 16, who was a servant at the public-house of alr.
Milligan, 15, Duncan-street, Park-lane. She was appa-
rently a strong healthy girl, but died rather suddenly. After
the examination of a medical gentleman, the jury returned
a verdict accordingly. The inquests on the bodies of
Daniel Simmons and John Nob!e, that stool over from the
previous day, in order to have post mortem examinations
of the bodies made, were resumed yesterday. The full
details of these cases have already appeared In our paper.
After the examination of the medical witnesses, the jury
found verdicts that the deceased died of inflaeariou
brought on by excessive drinking.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—On Monday last the Manchester
Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fcllows
their annual Gala at this favourite resort, and a large
gathering of the brethren and their friends assembled on
the auspicious occasion. The day was brilliant, and so
were the numerous attractions, amongst which was G moral
Tom Thumb, who gratified the eager curiosity of the
multitude in his usual style. The introduction of a new
and very talented Dramatic Company, from the principal
metropolitan and provincial theatres, is a new feature, and
well deserving encouragement, This was also the first
time of the illumination of the City of Moscow—a fac
simile of the great city as it appeared on the coronation of
the present Emperor of Russia, and it WAS evident, by the
repeated bursts of admiration, that the efforts of the
caterer were appreciated by the public.

ALLEGED MU ['INV ON BOARD THE VANGUARD.—On
Monday evening, just prior to the emigrant ship Vanguard,
belonging to Messrs. Gaion and Co., weighing her aucher
on her outward bound voyage to New York, an alter-
cation took place between some of the coloured seamen
and the petty officers, the former of whom refused for a
tine to obey orders, the result was that some blows were
exchanged. This created some little alarm amongst the
emigrants, who had net been accustomed to such scenes.
Inspector Swain and a few po.lice constables went on
board. On their appearance the dispute wes soon put al
end to, and the fears of the emigrants allayed. One or
two of the discontented coloured men, we understand, were
sent ashore, and yesterday morning the vessel put to sea,
all on board being perfectly quiet and orderly. The dis-
pute was not of such a nature as to give auy of the crew
into the custody of the inspector when he went on board,
nor did he see anything in the demeanour of the petty
officers to render his interference in the least necessary.
DnNDRUhf BAT.—Our readers will perceive that the
powerful and fast-sailing steamer Ellen Vannin, now plies
between this port and Dundrum (die bay of which is so
celebrated through the mishap to the Great, Britain), call-
ing on her way at the Isle of Man. Dundrum is beauti-
fully situated, the scenery being most delightful. The
town of Dundrum is a pleasant and healthy locality. The
ancient castle, which i 3 a beautiful edifice, is well worthy
of a visit; it contains the marks of the seise which it stood
against Oliver Cromwell, and commands a view of New-
castle, much frequented by the fashionable society of
bathers, and about 4;1 miles distant from Duadruni. New-
castle is the property jof Lord Ansley. In the immediate
vicinity is Tullamore Park, Lord Roden's mansion, situate
about 2j miles from Newcastle ; the to len of Maharaw, a
small town at a convenient distance ; Castle Willan, shout
41 miles from Dundrum. The seat of Lord Ansley is but a
short distance from Castle Wiliam Th.
The beauty of this
locality
notedbleachers,
Messrs. Wm. and Jas. Moreland, with
their extensive works and bleach grounds, and beautifully
arranged dwellings, are well woetll a visit.
