AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's
screw steamer North America, Capt. Aiton, from
Quebec on the 13th, arrived in the Mersey about
five o'clock this morning, bringing 116 passengers.
A telegraphic summary of her advices has been
already published.

The New York papers to hand are only one day
later than those brought by the Persia, and the
Canadian contain nothing of importance, with the
exception of the following despatch announcing
the arrival of the Prince of Wales at New York on
the afternoon of the 11th inst. :—" The Prince of
Wales and suite arrived at the Battery at 2 p.m.
amid the booming of cannon and cheering of
thousands. He was received by Mayor Wood
and other notables. After reviewing the militia,
which he did in colonel's uniform, he proceeded up
Broadway in an open barouche drawn by six coal
black horses. The most unbounded enthusiasm
prevailed. Broadway was densely packed with
human beings of all classes, house windows packed
to overflowing, housetops completely covered, and
every available square inch covered. The demon-
stration here entirely eclipsed all others ; the
Atlantic cable and Japanese celebrations cannot be
compared with it. .Half a million people lined
Broadway, and there was a splendid military dis-
play. The Prince looked well, arid was apparently
in good spirits, continually bowing to the people.
The weather was fine—a lovely day. Seats sold
on Broadway at from 5 dols. to 20 dols. each. It
was a grand sight to see the waving of handker-
chiefs. There was a good display of British flags."

The municipal elections in Baltimore on the fOth
resulted in the return of the Reform candidate for
Mayor by an overwhelming majority.
There were a few additional details of the loss of

the Connaught. A Boston telegram, of the 10th,
says :—" When the Minnie Schiffer arrived at her
wharf, immediate steps were taken by the agents
of the Galway Steamship Company in this city to
relieve the wants of the passengers. They were
furnished with food and clothes of every descrip-
tion at once. Those bound out of the city were
freely furnished with railway tickets to their des-
tion, and those remaining here with boarding-
houses and money. Everything that was possible
was promptly and cheerfully done by the agents.
Captain Leitch, officers; and engineers, will leave
for England, by the Canada, next Wednesday.
The stewards, sailors, and firemen will go out by
the Glasgow, sailing on the 13th."
Later advices from Havana had been received,
but they were quite unimportant. The sugar
market was unchanged. The city was healthy.
Freights dull. Exchange on London 141 to 15
per cent. premium.
San Francisco dates are to the 29th ult. Business
was without material change.

GREAT PROTESTANT DEMONSTRA-

TION AT TORONTO.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE CONDEMNED.

(From the Toronto Weekly Herald.)
There was a very large attendance of Protestants
last Friday in St. Lawrence-hall, called by the
Mayor, in obedience to a numerously-signed requi-
sition to that effect, for the purpose of expressing
an opinion upon the proscriptive course pursued by
the Duke of Newcastle towards the Orange So-
ciety, during the recent visit of his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales. The room was
crowded to its utmost capacity, about twelve
hundred finding accommodation within its
walls, while hundreds went away unable to
gain admission. The proceedings through-
out, although a good deal of excitement was
at times manifested, were conducted in the most
orderly manner, and evidently to the satisfaction of
those calling the meeting. The hall was completely
filled at half-past seven o'clock, at which time
Hon. J. H. CAMERON rose and said that the meet-
ing was one called by the Mayor, under the statute,
and he, as Chief Magistrate of the city, was the
proper person to put into the chair. He therefore
moved that His Worship the Mayor do take the
chair. (Loud applause.)
The MAYOR, on assuming his position as chair-
man, said the meeting had been called in pur-
suance of a requisition very numerously signed
by a body of the citizens, desiring that it
should be called under the statute which
specially provided for meetings of this descrip-
tion, for the purpose of considering the course
pursued by his Grace the Duke of Newcastle to-
ward the Orange body, with a view of obtaining
an expression of public opinion thereon. He stated
the nature of the statute referred to, and said that
upon receiving the requisition he felt it his duty to
convene the citizens in order to give them an op-
portunity of doing that which the statute gave
them an undoubted right to do. (Applause.) It
was obvious from the large number assembled that
the object of the meeting engaged a great deal of
public attention ; and therefore it was the more
necessary that the proceedings should be conducted
in an orderly manner, in order that this important
gathering might really end in such results as he
was quite sure the requisitionists had in view when
they signed their names to the document. (Loud
cheers.)
The following resolutions wereecarried amidst
loud cheers :
"Resolved—That in the opinion of this meeting, the
course pursued by the Duke of Newcastle, her Majesty's
Provincial Secretary of State for the Colonies, towards the
Orange Association, a body of men united together on
principles of unswerving loyalty to the throne, and de-
voted attachment to the Protestant institutions of the
country, by repressing their patriotic demonstrations of
welcome to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and
interfering with the action of various municipal bodies
under whose auspices or with whose sanction they were
invited to join in the general rejoicings with their fellow-
subjects of all classes and creeds, produced irritation and
heart-burning, and left a feeling of dissatisfaction and dis-
content among the Protestant population of Canada, which
never would have existed had the Duke remembered
that his Royal Highness was the guest of the Province,
and that through the Government alone should all his com-
munications have been addressed to the Canadian people."
"Resolved—That this meeting, while sympathising with
the Orangemen as the parties who have been most imme-
diately affected by the conduct of the Duke of Newcastle,
cannot refrain from expressing their indignation that while
the people of Canada possess representative institutions,
and have their own Parliament. and the management of
their own local affairs, any member of the Imperial Govern-
ment who owes no responsibility to them should dictate the
course to be pursued by the inhabitants of the country and
make direct communication to their municipal authorities
in matters of purely local arrangements which not only did
not contravene any law of the Province, but not even any
law of the Empire."

th
floating of the tricolour tionaries and establishments,louregen
exhibited towards the representatives of various Protestant
denominations, and the readiness to see and take offence at
Orange banners and emblems on the other, deserve and re-
ceive from this meeting the severest censure aid condem-
nation.",, Resolved—That this country acknowledge the obliga-
tion that the country owes to the Loyal Orangemen of this
city for the moderation manifested by them ander the pe-
culiar circumstances in which their body was recently
placed by his Grace the Duke of Newcastle—a moderation
and forbearance which this meeting believes to be entirely
due to their devout attachment and allegiance to their be-
loved Queen, and which were not less creditable to them
than satisfactory and advantageous to the people at large."
" Resolved,--That a committee, composed of the movers
and seconders of the foregoing resolutions, and Messrs.
Godson and McLean, be appointei to prepare an address to
the Queen, and both houses of the Imperial Parliament, and
also the different branches of the Canadian Legislature,
embodying
the foregoing resolutions, with a narrative of
the difficulties out of which they have arisen, with power
to take such steps as they may consider advisable to unite
the whole people of Upper Canada in the adoption of simi-
lar proceedings...
A very complimentary resolution of thanks to
the Mayor was passed, for which his worship
returned thanks.
Three cheers were then given for • the Queen,
three fur the Prince of Wales, and three for
Garibaldi.
The meeting then separated in the quietest
manner possible.

EXTRAORDINARY ACTION AGAINST A BANKING
COMPANY.—A somewhat remarkable case was heard at the
Froree County-court on Monday. Several magistrates and
Most of the professional gentlemen and tradesmen of the
town were in attendance. Mr. Bertram, solicitor, of Bath,
appeared for the plaintiff; and T. _ _ Saunders, Esq.' of
the Western Circuit, instructed by Mr. Cruttwell, for the
defendant. The action was brought by Mr. w. H.
Harvey,
a respectable currier and shoemaker of the town, against
the Wilts and Dorset Banking Company, for the non-per-
formance of an engagement to forward the sum of £l4 17s.
10d. to Messrs. G. and C. Turner, of Northampton, whole-
sale bootmakers. It appeared from the evidence of the plain-
tiff and his wife that on the 9th of June the plaintiff's wife's
sister, an intelligent girl of 14 years of age, went to the
Wilts and Dorset Bank in this town, to pay the £l4 17s.
10d. into the bank, to b© forwarded to Messrs. Turner; that
sayingthatBthhe had done so, having paid la.
change. Notking more was

and returned
of the matter until two months afterwards, when a
writ was suddenly served, and an execution immediately
issued on Mr. Harvey's goods.
It was denied on the part
of the defence that the money had ever been paid into the
bank, and several discrepancies in the plaintiff's case were
