the crimson cloaks of the Royal Scarlet Sociey, t ,as
it is termed, and all these faded symptoms of dis-
play were more or less stained with the unmistake-
able traces of dirty tavern wassail, which, in this
country at least, forms a most important failure in
all Orange organisations. Every third man carried
a banner with " No Surrender" mottoes, or painted
likenesses of King William, and a large minority
had drawn swords, with which they flourished
and vapoured and marshalled the others, as if
about to lead them into action direct. There were
plenty of men who acted as chaplains to the Lodges,
and who were dressed as much like clergymen
as their dirty surplices could make them, with
orange bows and orange ribands over all. Their
chief leader, a Mr. Robinson, in a medley costume,
went about with others on horseback, haranguing
each Lodge, exhorting them to stand by their
colours, and die by their colours rather than give
way. In making such arrangements this morning
passed. The remonstrances and entreaties of the
authorities of the town were of no avail ; the
Orangemen replied that either the Prince or the
Orangemen must give way, and it should not be
the Orangemen if they stood there for a month.
The spot chosen for the landing of the Prince was
at the battery, a small work commanding the ap-
proach to the town from Lake Ontario, and sur-
rounded by high stone walls, which prevented its
being seen into from the adjoining street. Here
the chief authorities of the town were in waiting,
and here Capt. Flannigan brought down his troop
of Volunteer Cavalry, all wearing the Orange
riband and insignia on their uniforms, the gallant
Captain himself being so covered with such tawdry
decorations as to look at a distance like a
General officer. This innovation in uniform was at
once noticed, and Capt. Flannigan was requested
to take them off himself and desire his men to do
the same ; but this he refused to do, and the news
of hislletermination was quickly spread through the
procession, and excited general admiration and ap-
plause. At last the Kingston steamer came in sight,
was received with a Royal salute, and great was
the excitement as she came alongside the wharf,
for every one made sure that the Prince was about
to land forthwith, and the Orangemen cheered, not
in welcome to the Prince, but solely and entirely
for what they rather prematurely considered was
their own, undoubted victory over their young
guest. But an hour passed, and yet another, and
still he did not land. At first it was said he was
putting on his uniform, next that he was receiving
addresses, then that he would land privately.
At last the truth came out in the form of an
official verbal intimation from the Mayor to the
Orangemen that his Royal Highness would not
land to join any partisan procession of the
kind; that his Royal Highness would remain
till nine o'clock the next morning to allow them
time to think over it, and if the demonstration were
then persisted in he would leave Kingston alto-
gether. The chiefs of the movement, lam told,
upon this held a short council, at which it was
determined nem. con. that his Royal Highness
might quit Kingston if he chose, but that land he
should not without the Orange procession to accom-
pany him. With this resolution the procession at
last broke up, and horsemen were flying through
the town all the night, warning the members of the
Lodges that the Prince might try and land privately
at 8 a.m. next morning, and that, therefore, it be
hoved them to be out and stirring with their pro-
cession early. There was a masquerading pro-
cession through the town that night, and most of
the houses refused to illuminate, and there was an
immense amount of drunkenness, and a great deal
of loud, vapouring, stupid talk about their resist-
ance to the Prince's wishes being supported by
their Orange brothers across the water ; that the
Orangemen in Ireland could shake him on his
throne, &c., with other nonsense of the same kind,
which angry ignorant men will talk, but which one
hardly expected to hear from those who claim to
be the only loyal subjects in Canada.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday the
3d the Orangemen were again at their posts in pro-
cession round the battery, and so hour after hour,
passed till midday, and the thing began to wear a
ridiculous and undignified aspect. There were the
Prince and his party quietly in his boat inside the
battery, and there were Orangemen outside standing
obstinately in the road, as they had done all the
previous day. At last Lord Lyons came ashore to
inform the authorities that the Prince would leave
in an hour, and to convey to an American company
of Volunteers his Royal Highness's regrets that he
would not be able to have the pleasure of seeing
them at Kingston. The Orangemen, however, only
considered this a ruse to get them out of the way,
and remained as firm as ever. At last the Royal
steamer moved out of the battery, and the Orange-
men called out that he was going to land privately
some two miles below the town. If such a step had
been likely it would, one would have thought, have
been a sufficient humiliation for the Prince to satisfy
even the hot-headed bigots of Kingston. But this
was not so, and off they all started at a run to get
their procession to the landing before him. They
had only the exercise, however, for their pains, for
the steamer stood westward up the lake, and in a
few minutes was out of sight.
When he was really gone the people were, of
course, bitterly angry, though they affected to
consider the whole thing a victory and decided tri-
umph for the Orange party. A mass meeting was
eventually held, at which some violent language
was used against both the Prince and the Duke,
and it was decided privately that all the Orange-
men of Kingston that could follow to the places
where the Prince was likely to land should at once
do so, and meet him at the various landing-towns
with their flags and banners, and try everywhere
to compel him to accept their procession, or not
land at all. This was done accordingly, and a
large party started at once for Belleville, the next
town at which the Prince was to disembark. I have
just heard by telegraph from that place that there
the procession was again formed on the land-
ing wharf, and that his Royal Highness again re-
fused to land, and went away in the steamer
for Coburg. I am on the point of starting
for that town, which I shall reach as soon as the
Royal steamer. Telegrams say that the people of
Coburg will not allow an Orange procession, but
to prevent this backsliding a number of the Orange-
men of Kingston have gone up there, bent on mak-
ing a procession at all hazards. I have also had
several telegrams from Toronto, and fear, from all
I hear, that there is every prospect of a riot at
.nhe
place. The Orangemen are said to be determined
on having their display, and the Scotch
Presby-
terians, I am told, are coming in there in largen
num-
bers from all parts of the country, bent drivingaltemp

which we have fallen it has sometimes been be-
lieved that the interests of the owners of adjacsnt

lands have not been without their weight in decid-
ing the situation of towns. In the United States of
America the rule seems to have been to pick out the
most central situation in the State for the capital
city, regardless of any other consideration. Thus,
the capital of New York is the small town of

that the other did not
at once yield to its preten-
sions. This however did not turn out to be the case,
and there seemed no chance of inducing either pro-
vince to waive its claims. Under these circum-
stances the provinces did the thing next best to
coming into an agreement between themselves.
They admitted that agreement was impossible, and
determined to refer the question to the arbitration
of a third party. One of the benefits which our
colonies derive from their union with this country
is that they have in the Home Government a fair
antLimpartial arbitrator, to whom they can refer
matters of difference which they are unable to
arrange. This course was adopted on this occasion.
The question of a capital was referred to the deci-
sion of her Majesty, with an understanding that
whatever she decided should be, without hesitation,
carried into effect. The Queen some three years
ago, under the advice of her Colonial Secretary, gave
her award in favour of the city of Ottawa,
It would seem that the decision must have been
an eminently impartial one, since its effect was to
satisfy nobody and to unite those who agreed in
nothing else in the most extreme dislike of the
course to which they had bound themselves to agree.
These who never found themselves on the same side
before—Orangemen and French Canadians, Protes-
tants and Roman Catholics, representatives of all
the most conflicting interests—appear to have
agreed for once heartily and thoroughly in the dis-
like of Ottawa. There was some show of resistance
at first, and an attempt was made in the Canadian
Parliament to repudiate the award. But the case
was too clear. The submission to the arbitration
of the Queen had been perfectly absolute and unre-
served, and there was nothing for it but a grumbling
and ungracious obedience. Therehas certainly been
no hurry in giving effect to the decision, but there
is a point beyond which delay has become impos-
sible. The money has been voted with the most
bitter regret by the Canadian Parliament, and the
Prince of Wales, in the midst of that deluge which
has consistently waited on his steps ever since
he set foot on the American Continent, laid the
first stone of the intended Parliamentary build-
ings at Ottawa, described as a Gothic pile ac-
cording to the very straightest sect of that species
of architectural fanaticism. With the account of
this ceremony our correspondent has combined a
description of the city of Ottawa, which we con-
fess has filled us with very serious misgiving as
to the wisdom of the step which her Majesty has
been advised to take in selecting it as the capital
of Canada, and given us, and we think the Queen's
advisers, strong reason to rejoice that the question
has not gone so far that it is too late for recon-
sideration.

The great river Ottawa, the most considerable
of the tributaries of the St. Lawrence, falls into
that mighty artery of the North American Conti-
nent through two branches. Between those
branches lies the island on which is situated the
Royal mountain at the feet of which lies the large
and busy city of Montreal. Nature seems to have
marked out this point as the proper site for the
metropolis of Canada. Although situated in the
Lower Province, it is just on the boundaries of the
two. Its position is healthy and commanding; it
lies close to the stream of the St. Lawrence, which
is evidently destined to carry the vast trade created
by the labours of a population settled around the
lakes, which form the finest system of freshwater
navigation in the world. It is at the head of the
navigation of the St. Lawrence, and by far the most
considerable place in the country. It is connected
with the southern side of the river by the magni-
ficent bridge, nearly two miles long, to which the
Prince of Wales put the last rivet a fortnight ago.
Its railways run eastward to Quebec, westward
to the Mississippi, northward to Ottawa itself,
and southward to Boston and New York. We do
not now speak of its former rivals—Kingston,
Quebec, and Toronto—for it seems to us perfectly
clear that the claims of Montreal are so predominant
over theirs that, if existing arrangements are to be
disturbed. they must be disturbed in favour of Mon-
treal. What, then, are the claims of Ottawa that
it should have been preferred to a place possessing
so many and striking advantages as Montreal ? The
claims of Ottawa are, that it stands on the boundary
line between the two provinces, like Montreal, and
that it is capable of being made into an exceedingly
strong fortress—a merit which it possesses in com-
mon with Quebec. On the ether hand, Ottawa is
a small town, containing at the most 12,000 inha-
bitants. It is at present the abode of a rough and
disorderly population of lumberers. The town is
very incomplete, and by no means suited for the
abode of the Legislature. All public buildings have
to be erected at a very great expense. Ottawa is
reached by a branch from the Grand Trunk Railway
which there is no probability will be carried beyond
it. The stream below it is navigable only for
' steamers of every light draught of water; the stream
above it is rendered useless for the purposes of
navigation by rapids and a very considerable cata-
ract. In the immediate neighbourhood of the town
the Ottawa is wide and shallow, and a bridge notat
inferior to the vast structure just completedk of the

can have no interest in the matter, except that the
site of a capital should be fixed on the spot most
suitable for the purpose. It would seem that the
advisers of her Majesty have been misled in the
selection they have made. If so, there is abundance
of time to correct the error. The Colonial Secre-
tary has now seen the spot with his own eyes. If
he approves it, now that he has seen it, there is no
more to be said; but if the result of his inspection
be to lead him to the same conclusion as that an-
nounced by our able and experienced correspondent,
we cannot doubt that he will lose no time in ad-
vising her Majesty to rectify the error, and thus
give to her Canadian subjects the most graceful and
acceptable return in her power for the enthusiastic
reception which they have given to their future
Sovereign.— Times,

that on Tuesday night about 9 o'clock, the wife, who is re-
presented as having been an industrious woman, returned
to her own house in Gomer-street, Queen Anne-street, as
it is said, somewhat the worse for liquor. Her husband, the
prisoner, who is stated to have been a loose sort of character,
addicted to coursing, and keeping without any very visible
means two or three greyhounds, was at home when she ar-
rived. He became irritated at her appearaace and condition,
and a quarrel arose between them. Opprobrious epithets

struck between them. The quarrel seemed to be appeased,
but it suddenly again burst forth both orally and physi-
cally, andlin.course •of the unhappy dispute the wife called
her husband-a
"returned convict." At the use of this he
again struck her, and, taking a large clasp-knife from his
pocket, he opened the blade out, and stabbed her in the left
side. She uttered a piercing shriek and ran into the street,
blood flowing copiously from the wound. She had
only proceeded a few yards from the door, however,
whin she fell on the pavement and almost immediately ex-
pired. Medical aid was speedily obtained, but in vain : the
weapon had penetrated to the heart, and death was inevit-
able and almost immediate. The husband on discovering
the fatal result of his passion ran off, in doing so passing
close to the scarcely lifeless body of his wife. In about two
hours afterwards he was apprehended at no great distance
from the scene of the outrage, and on being taken into cus-
tody he said, "I am very sorry for what I have done to •
night," and handed the knife with which he had committed
the fatal act to the police officer who apprehended him. The
prisoner was remanded till to-morrow (Friday).
