BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.

The Confederation of the North American Pro-
vinces is progressing favourably. Two members of
the Canadian Ministry—Messrs. Galt and Cartier—
are in the Asia, as a deputation to the Homo Go-
vernment. They were met at Halifax by the Nova
Scotia Government and leading citizens of Halifax
.:_iebo ylyva a made of the
Scotiary largeand
and New Brunswick. A torchlight procession a
mile in length was formed to conduct them to the
Temperance-hall, where an immense concourse had
assembled, and an address was presented by the
Mayor of Halifax on behalf of the citizens, strongly
urging on the Confederation scheme.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and most
favourable statements were publicly
progiess of the measure in both N.
New Brunswick.
Canada has already adopted
majority.

" LES FEMMES DE JULES CESAR, sa Vie Privee, et
ses Mceurs," is the title of another of the numerous pamph-
lets to which
the Emperor's work has given rise. It is
written by Benjamin Gastineau, and published by Dentu.
ACCIDENT AT THE WINDSOR STEEPLECHASES.---OR
Saturday afternoon a serious accident occurred dur-
ing the steeplechases on the racecourse at Spital, near the
cavalry barracks on the outskirts of Windsor. Among the
horses which started for the Military Sweepstakes, the
third event of the day, was Major Wombwell's (12th Lan-
cers) Bell's Life, a well-known horse, the winner of several
steeplechases, and usually a great favourite at the Windsor
meeting. Captain Rowley, of the 2d Life Guards, one of
the stewards, and an experienced horseman, rode Bell's
Life in this race, and it would seem that all went on well
till a small brook running from the side of the Osborne-
road was approached. The stream is very narrow, and is,
in fact, nothing but a ditch, though the jump presents some
rather awkward features. It would appear that Bell's Life
had made the jump and cleared the brook, but after the
leap the horse fell dead, throwing Captain Rowley with
eb Res,e on-
great force to the ground and falling partly upon the
stunned rider. Bell's Life being thus killed upon the spot,
Captain Rowley, who had suffered severely. from the vio-
lencedition of
a ntdh erem oconcussion,
ved to t hwea was
residencepicked
of Colonel upinCaoninse d senile
lat
Queen's-villas, only a few yards from the scene of the
occurrence, and where he was attended by Dr.
Rerin, who
happened to be present. Although much shaken, it is be-
lieved that Captain Rowley has not received any serious
injuries, and in the course of the evening he was enabled
to proceed to London.
