QUEBEC, OCT. 24.

On Saturday the knotty question of finance
occupied the attention of the Conference. The
subject is a very difficult one, as the apportion-
ment of debt and revenue, and the adjustment of
taxation for all the provinces, form its leading

features.
The Conference is expected to terminate its
sittings during the week.
Thirteen of the St Albania raiders have been
lodged in the gaol at St John's. They are under

the defence. Mr Johnson, Q.C., has received
instructions from the Attorney-General to watch
the proceedings on behalf of the Crown.
A troop of Volunteer cavalry has boen placed
in charge of the gaol, an, owing to the sympathy
manifested for the prisoners, an attempt at a rescue
was deemed probable.
—Captain Young, of the Confederate States army,
the ringleadEr of the raid, has just published a
letter in the Montreal newspapers. He confesses
that he proposed to burn the town of St. Albans,
together with the adjoining villages, in retaliation
for the outrages perpetrated by the Federals in the
Shenandoah Valley. He likewise complains that
bands of American citizens came beyond the lines
and attempted to kill himself and his party, after
they were in the hands of the Canadian authorities.
He winds up by remarking that the Americans
and not his party are the violators of neutrality
and of international law.
This event has caused considerable excitement
throughout the province.

A new and very promising candidate for the honours of
the London stage appeared last evening at this theatre in
the exceedingly attractive person of Miss Milly Palmer, of
the Theatre Royal. Liverpool, who made a brilliant debut as
Pauline, in Mr. Planche's pleasant comedietta of "Delicate
Ground." She acts not only with spirit and intelligence,
but with grace and sensibility, and she is perfectly familiar
with stage business. It is scarcely necessary to add that
she well deserved the applause with which she was abun-
dantly greeted, and that she cannot fail to become a very
valuable acquisition to the popular company of comedians
at the Strand Theatre.
