BRITISH AMERICA.

The Canadian Legislature is waiting the result of
the negotiation between Sir Henry Bulwer and the
United States Government in regard to a reciprocity
of trade. If this should prove ineffectual measures
of a retaliatory character will be submitted to the
Parliament. It is proposed to close the Welland
Canal against American vessels bound to any port
on the lakes, no obstae!e being presented to those
which go direct from Lake Erie to the ocean. Mr. Mer-
ritt h.:is introduced a set of resolutions for a petition to
the Queen, praying that England will impose on the
productions of foreign countries the same rates of duties
that those countries impose on ;the productions of Bri-
tish colonies. This proposal, though expressed in gene-
ral terms, of course aims at the United States. Other
measures have been suggested on the imposition of duty
on foreign grain admitted into England, while colonial
produce enters free, and granting Canada the same pro-
tection which she formerly enjoyed in the British
market. It is needless to say these measures receive no
support from the Government or the free-trade party,
who have no faith in the action of British statesmen for
the benefit of Canada. The bargain and sale of Sir Allan
M'Nab is fully asserted by the opposition journals, and
thus far has not met with a denial. Mr. Mackenzie has
announced his intention of bringing in a Bill for the abo-
lishing of the Court of Chancery, and conferring equity
jurisdiction on the common law court, and another for
breaking up the monopoly of the legal profession and al-
lowing every man to plead in the courts. Mr. Stanton,
the late collector of Toronto, has been cast in damages to
the amount of 4,000 dollars for defalcation in the dis-
charge of his duty.

right of petition, to the effect that public functiona-
ries shall be interdicted from taking part directly or
indirectly in the getting up of petitions under pain
of dismissal, and of the deprivation of civil rights
from two to five years; that petitioners who cannot
write may get their petitions drawn up, or their sig-
natures certified by two citizens established in their
communes ; and that such persons as may give false
certificates of this kind shall be punished with from
six days to three months' imprisonment, a fine of
from 16f. to 100 f., and deprived of the exercise of
civil rights from two to five years.
DAtega+es are about to be sent by the agricultural
interest to examine the various machines exhibited in
the Crystal Palace in London. The Minister of
Commerce has also ordered that a deputation from
the professional schools of Chalons, Angers, and Aix,

the Grobelins, and Beauvais, shall also visit that Ex-
hibition.

A tragi-comio incident occurred two days ago in
the court of the Tribunal of Pithiviers, near Orleans.
Whilst an advocate was pleading the judges, procureur
of the arpublic, and registrar suddenly disappeared,
as down a stage-trap. The elevated flooring on
which they were seated had suddenly given way from
the rottenness of the supporters.

LAUNCH OF THE AMAZON.

The second of the new West Indian steamers was
launched on Saturday at her builders' yard, Messrs.
Green, of Blackwell. She is the largest vessel yet
built on the banks of the Thames, and appears to be a
very fine model and to do credit to her constructors. A
very large number of spectators were attracted by the
sight, and the yards in the vicinity of the leviathan
specimen of ship architecture were crowded with groups
of amateurs criticising her lines and waiting with im-
patience for the signal to release her from the slip. A
number of visitors were assembled also by invitation on
board of one of Mr. Green's fine vessels, the Trafalgar,
which was lying alongside the Amazon, and looking
very small by comparison. Among them were—Lord
and Lady Alfred Paget, the Earl of Listowel, the Duke
of Valentia, Le Conte de Salvatierria, Lo Conte de
Sardi, Sir Baldwin Walker, Sir Edward Belcher, Gene-
ral Paz, and Admiral Barclay. There was also another
ship a little lower down crowded with spectators, and
several on other points which commanded a view of the
scene. The Amazon was gaily decorzted with alga'Her size may be imagined when we state that hetcapacity is 2,256 tons builders' measurement,
and her principal dimensions 300 feet in

between her main decks is upwards of 8 feet, so that
even if she trades to the Coast of Pat'gonis and en-
counters as passengers some of those giants who were
described by the old Spaniards, she will be able to

Every one seemed to consider it a most successful launch,
and those who could appreciate her beauties appeared
to admire her as she quietly drifted along with the
tide. The company then adjourned to an elegant lun-
cheon laid out in the state cabins of the Tra-
falgar, and presided over by Mr. Green. After it
was concluded he, as chairman, gave the usual loyal
toasts, which were received with all due honours, and
then proposed, " Success to the Amazon," and ~ The
health of the Directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company." In the course of his remarks he thanked
the directors for the courtesy they had shown him on
all occasions connected with the building of their ship.

Much damage has been caused on the banks of the
Mississippi by a great overflow of that river. The
waters have not risen so high within the last twenty-five
years.
The Mexican boundary commission, at our latest ad-
vices from Texas, were still at El Paso and vicinity.
The commencement of the survey had been fixed upon
the Rio Grande, about twenty-five miles below Dona
Ana. The exercise of Lynch law at El Paso is said to
be carried to a frightful extent, some fifteen Americans
and Mexicans having been hung or shot within the space
of two weeks. The crops throughout the greater part
of Texas are remarkably promising. The growth of the
cotton crop for the past few weeks has been truly sur-
prising.
A telegraphic dispatch fron New Orleans announces
the arrival of the steamer Alabama, with news from
California to the 15th ult. Another terrible conflagra-
tion has taken place in San Francisco, destroying a
number of public buildings, several whole streets of
private dwellings, many of the ships at the wharfs, and
a large amount of other property, making a total loss of
15,000,000 dolls. It is feared that a number of lives
have been lost. Tno city of San Francisco is over-
whelmed with gloom at this fearful catastrophe, and
business of all kinds is suspended.

satisfaction by the majority of the Legislature.
An unofficial statement has been made in regard to
the policy of the Secretary of State on Central American
affairs, which is supposed to be entitled to credit. It is
said that Mr. Webster proposes a joint protectorate with
England and France for the security of the Central
American states, for the adjustment of questions at issue
between each other, and for free action in respect to
any line of communication which it might be for the in-
terest of the commercial world to have constructed be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific. A similar proposition
with reference to Hayti is also in contemplation.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, APRIL I.—Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., has announced
himself as a candidate for the representation of Enniskillen,
vacant by the resignation of the Hon. Colonel Cole. Mr.
Whiteside is a Conservative, but in his address he says :—" I
will support the application of a wise economy to the
management of the revenue, and to the financial depart-
ments of the state ; but I will steadfastly resist the heartless
system of centralization sought to be enforced against Ire-
land, and which is as injurious to her interests as it is hurtful
to her pride." It is said a Mr. Cullum, a solicitor, has had
the start of Mr. Whiteside in canvassing the electors of
Enniskillen, and that he has already had the promises (of
three-fourths of the constituency.
A novel illustration of the beneficial working of the En-
cumbered Estates upon Irish enterprise has just appeared.
Although many branche 4 of Irish mining are inconsiderable,
the working of copper, lead, silver,
and sulphur is very pro-
titahle ; but in the cos,: of many estates containing rich lodes
it was impossible to carry on any successful operations, as
the proprietors could not give a title. A difficulty of this
kind was an insuperable impediment to the formation
of joint-stock cJinpanies, and consequently Ireland
has hitherto remained much behindhand, though the
few mines that are worked have givQ, good returns.
In the instance to which ace have alluded a clear mi-
neral title over a large property near Kenmare, in Kerry,
has been conveyed by the Commissioners to a company, and
as the ores are not reduced on the spot for want of fuel, but
sent to South Wales, the neighbouring farmers derive em-
ployment from the cartage of ores for shipment. The rates,
which are as much as Sd. per mile, are liberal and remune-
rative. The coals for the engines are brought from Swansea
as back freight, and are carted up to the mine.
Au appeal front the Encumbered Estates Court has
been heard before the Committee of the Privy Council in

By I. DISRAELI.
Edited by his Son, B. DISRAELI, M.P.
IS NOW READY, in 2 vols. Bvo., 28s. bound.

" Mr. Disraeli has conceived that the republication of his father's
Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.' is peculiarly
welt timed at the present moment, and he indicates the well-known
chapters on the genius of the Papacy, and the critical re,ations of
Protestant sovereigns with Roman Catholic subjects. as reflecting,
mirror-like, the ' events, thoughts, passions, and perplexities of the
present agitated epoch.' No apology was needed for re-introducing
to the world so instructive and original a work."—Times.

MR. DRUMMOND'S SPEECH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—A paragraph has been shown me in the Dublin news-
paper, the Tablet, professing to be a letter fromate
corre-
spondent in London, which states that I " applied to h
blessed Virgin Mary a term which can
only be used with
reference to the most abandoned females."
The assertion is wholly false.
Dr. Wiseman having brought over an arm of St. Edmund,
I asked whether the Popish aggre,,sors were going to insult
the common sense and common honesty of the people by an
additional importation of blinking statues, bleeding pictures,
liquifying blood, and the Virgin Marys milk ; and ssme
pretend that these words are disrespectful towards the blessed
Virgin herself.
'the Archbishop of Paris denounced the blinking statue of
Rimini about the same time that the Pope sent it a chapter.
The liquifying blood of St. Januarius is scarcely denied by a
single Neapolitan priest to be a cheat. When a pretended
holy coat of our Lord was attempted to be palmed upon the
the imposture aroused
wot. 3 indignationstrsesap which no one was silly
oc
tto our Lord. It is difli-
'
epanneooupuiglieihvientrosFcalalalfnledaelemirnsgaat
of
fer
cult to conceive that any one can think an attack upon the
imposture of the Virgin's milk can be a slight upon her. Is
any allusion to her milk irreverent? Then is the Papacy
most culpable, for at the Reformation the cathedral of
Glasgow boasted of four phials of her milk. In the church
of the Holy Cross at Rome to this day is shown a bottle
of her pretended milk ; the churches of St. Cecilia, St. Cosmo,
and St. Maria Tran
spontine are equally indecent by exhibit-
ing the same imposture.
As it was not irreverent to our Saviour to expose and de-
nounce the imposture of his coat, neither is it disrespectful to
the mother of our Lord to denounce a similar imposture of
the priests connected with her name.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
March, 31. HENRY DRUMMOND.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The Queen of Spades was repeated last evening, Miss
Fanny Vining sustaining the part of Katinka, which ahe
read on Saturday evening. Even under all the
disadvantages of having . to read the part, her
acting on Saturday evening exhibited great judg-
ment, and a rapid and almost intuitive perception of
the strong points of the character; and now that she has
had time to learn the words and to study the part, nothing
can be more admirable than her interpretation of it. It is
not easy to imagine a more delightful Queen of Spades than
Miss Fanny 'Vining, who has, in the part of Katinka
Nelidorf, achieved a triumphalit and a most well-deserved
success. The drama is admirably acted and splendidly put
on the stage, and the applause at the conclusion was raptu-
rous. The splendours of Azael followed. The house was
crowded.

KILRUSH UNION.

Mr. REYNOLDS postponed his motion with respec
to the Ki!rush workhouse.
MOULTAN AND LAHORE PRIZE MONEY.

Colonel DUNNE begged to ask the Secretary of the
Board of Control whether or not her Majesty's Govern-
ment had determined to grant, as prize money, the trea-
aure taken at Moultan and Lahore, to the troops en-
gaged in military operations against these places, or to
axiy part of them?
Mr. J. WILSON said that no decision had been made.
Colonel DUNNE said it was the men's undoubted
night.
Jr. J. WILSON said that that had yet to be ascet-
ta.ined, and until it was ascertained, of course, no allot-
ment could be made.
BOILER EXPLOSIONS.

Lord ASHLEY begged to asked whether it was the
rxtention of the Government to direct the inspectors of
itt•lchinery bilso to inspect the boilers of steam-engines,
ar,.th a view to prevent those explosions, such as had
occasioned a lamentable loss of life?
Sir G. GREY said that it was not the intention of
Government at present to direct any extension of the
do ty of the inspectors of machinery; for if they were to
tie employed in any such business the probability was
that they would cause more harm than good.—(Hear,
he ar.) They were very incompetent judges for the
sti -ength of a boiler, and there was a wide difference
bF tween the duty which they had to fulfil
arid that which 'they were called upon to
iwrform. It should be recollected that their principal
business was to ascertain the state in which the ntachi-
rrery of a manufactory was. The machinery was fenced
about, and if the fencing was good TIO harm could pos-
sibly accrue to the workpeople. With respect to the
boilers of steam-engines the case was very different, for
t.b e safety of them depended upon very different causes.
ea id therefore he did not propose to extend the duty of
th a inspectors of machinery to that object.—(Hear.)
ACCIDENTS IN MINES,

Mr. HUME wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronq
th e Secretary of State for the Home Department whether
be had any objection to lay upon the table of the House
s :report of the steps that had been taken for the proven-
tit in of accidents in mines?

Sir a GREY had no objection to lay upon the table
tb e instructions which had been addressed to the
in ipectors on t ho subject, but he must decline to produce
tot e reports which had been made in every individual
case. A general report, however, would be made at the
cad of each half-year.
DRAINAGE ACT. _ _ .

Mr. COCHRANE then moved for leave to bring in a
Ri 11 to extend the provisions of the Private Money
D rainage Act of 1849, to the advance of private money for
th e erection and repair of farm buildings on lands in
GI vat Britain and Ireland. The Hon. Gentleman cou-
ch ided by asking leave to bring in the Bill.
Mr. SLANEY seconded the motion. The measure
pr zposed to be brought in, as be understood it, was simply
to give private persons who were willing to
me ke advances of money to landed proprietors
fob the improvement of land, facilities to do
