THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVEN ING, NOVEMBER 29, 1866.

Upper and Lower Canada. Although Mc ,ntreal,
Quebec, and Kingstown might defy the efl 'orts of
an invader, there would be no means of de fending
the open country. If the inhabitants rose ; against
the invaders they would but insure their own de-
struction, and lead to useless waste of property and
life. It is in vain to attempt to organise a defence
of a country so situated, and nothing could be more
ill-advised than by false inducements to lead the
inhabitants into so fatal a mistake. A British
force landed in North America would but find their
way into American prisons in the event of a war,
and only lead to a waste of England's strength, and
a bitter humiliation to her arms. We consider,
then, that the true position should be recognised,
and no thought entertained of launching Canada
into war with the United States, even in the event
of a rupture between England and America. 3.loney
expended to fortify the colony against the neigh-
bouring nation is money thrown away. The cir-
cumstances are as well known to American states-
men and generals as they can be to any other class
of men. The position is ditagreeable, but, like
many other disagreeable positions in life, people get
used to it and adapt themselves to the circumstances.
The impossibility of successfully defending Canada
is England's weak point in her connection with
America. That connection is, in our opinion, a
mistake. Canada would be more secure as au inde-
pendent country, either Federated with her sister
provinces into a single nation, or as sole mistress of
her own destiny erected into an independent terri-
tory, or amalgamated into the Union on such terms
as might be agreed upon. We believe the latter
course to be the true policy, and the one which will
eventually be adopted. As the case now stands,
Canada is menaced by a ceaseless danger. As the
case would then stand, Canada would be among the
most secure countries on this earth. It is worth
fighting for security and independence when fight-
ing can attain these ends ; but it would be wicked
folly to spill one drop of blood when these ends can
be attained without a musket discharged or a sabre
drawn.—Anglo-American Times.

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Jan. 30.
The telegraph will have conveyed you news of
the entry of General Prim and the Spanish refugees
into Portugal.

Letters from the General's wife are in town
waiting for him. He will probably arrive a couple
of hours after the departure of the steampacket
Oneida, by which I write. He was at Bija yester-
day, the guest of one of the Deputies for that city,
and in the capital the Marquis de Niza aspires to
the honour of receiving him in his house.
From all accounts the Portuguese have shown
sympathy with the General and his companions in
misfortune, nor have hearty cheers been wanting on
several occasions.

Letters from Penefiel state that Prim's forces, all
young men of 18 to 35, were in considerable
anxiety during the last hours of their sojourn in
Spain. They had obtained a guide to the frontier
for $BO, and offered au extra $2O as a present if he
could assure them it was near at hand. Imme-
diately they were safe on the neutral ground they
attacked a turnip field with great eagerness, when
the farmer not only refused the remuneration of-
ferred, but opened a pipe of wine for them to
quench their thirst after having satisfied their
hunger.

The total number of Spanish troops which is
known to have taken refuge in this country is a
little more than 1,000, including 95 officers.
The soldiers are to be sent to different quarters in
this neighbourhood, and it is said that General
Prim will leave without delay for England or
France, but he can hardly arrive in time for the
Oneida, which leaves at 1 o'clock.

The South-Eastern of Portugal Railway modifi-
cation contract has been approved by Royal decree
after passing the Peers by a majority of 14. The
four American ships of war recently in the Medi-
terranean are to be stationed at this port for some
time, and one of them has just been signalled ap-
proaching the bar. At present the French sloop
_Napoleon I. is the only foreign ship-of-war in port.

TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1866.:'

MARKETS.—This Day.

MARE LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was very quiet. Dry :,ampler fairly supported pre-
vious rates, but damp samples; being very difficult of sale,
changed hands at lower prices. Good and fine malting
barley ruled firm at full currencies, but inferior barley,
including all other spring corn, sold slowly, at late prices.
The flour trade was quiet, on former terms.
On the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet, at
about previous quotations. At New York the trade for
wheat, flour, and maize is dull, at further reduced rates.
The export demand is still very limited.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderato, The condition of the samples
was most unsatisfactory, and the trade in consequence was
in a very inactive state. Dry samples, however, were dis-
posed of at the full prices of Monday last; but damp pro-
duce was very dull, and changed hands at irregular
quotations. Tho whole of the supply had not been dis-
posed of at the close of business.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
For most descriptions there was a steady but by no means
active demand, and prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request,
at late rates.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. For good
and fine malting qualities there was a fair demand, at full
currencies. Inferior malting barley was a dull inquiry, on
former terms. Grinding and distilling barley was in
moderate request, at lato rates.

Malt changed hands slowly. In prices no change took
place.

The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. There
was no activity, however, in the demand; nevertheless,
previous quotations were supported.
The supply of beans on sale was moderately large. The
trade for nearly all qualities ruled quiet, at late rates.
Peas were in moderate supply, yet the demand for them
ruled inactive, on former terms.
There was a moderate demand for flour, at last Mon-
day's currency.

but the demand for rapeseed is inaetive. Agricultural
seeds command but little attention. Cakes have changed
hands io a fair extent, on former terms.

WOOL.

Both for home-grown and colonial wool the trade is very
quiet. Very little change has taken place in prices since
Monday last, but in some instances the market presents a
drooping appearance. Last week's imports were only about
3,000 bales, about a moiety of which was from the Gape of
Good Hope.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer
in our market to-day was good. The trade was inactive,
and prices were with difficulty supported.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were on the increase, and in fair average condition.
The supply from Scotland was good, and of prime quality.
From Ireland the receipts were again limited. Compared
with Monday last the beef trade was inactive, at a decline
in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A few very superior
Scots and crosses sold at 5s 2d, but the general top figure
was 5s per 81bs. Beasts can now be forwarded in Surrey
and Middlesex only within the radius of four miles from
Charing-cross. A few inferior boasts wore left unsold at
the close of business.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other
parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,200 various
breeds; from Scotland, 560 Scots and crosses; and, from
Ireland, 150 oxen, Sze.
Although the supply of sheep was very moderate, the
demand for all breeds was quiet, at prices barely equal to
this day so'nnight. Prime Downs and half-breds sold at
from 6s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs.
There were a few lambs on offer. They realised 8s
per 81bs.

The few calves on sale were readily disposed of at high
rates—viz., from 5s Gd to Gs 6d per Sibs.

Prime small pigs were quite as dear as last week, but
Large hogs were much neglected.

THE SPANISH CONGRESS.
MADRID, FEB. 4 (Evening.)
&nor Mayano has moved in the Chamber of
Deputies an amendment to the address replying to
the Speech from the Throne. This amendment is
as follows :—" Our financial difficulties, increasing
from day to day, will cause the ruin of agriculture
and manufactures. It is necessary to balance ex-
penditure with revenue, but as it is impossible to
raise the taxes already too heavy we must make re-
ductions to the amount of 300 million reals. It is
only by this means that we shall re-establish our
credit, and avert the dangers which threaten us."
London, England, 1866-02-05

Reconstruction of the Southern States.
-

The New York Herald continues the discussion,
of the political question of reconstruction. That
the South made war on the Government and
attempted to destroy the country is not a matter
of opinion but of fact. This is the Northern view
of the war, and the fact that the North prevailed
establishes that it is the legal view of the war. By
the fact of attempting the life of the nation the
South put its own political existence in jeopardy,
and, in fact, as determined by the result, forfeited
that political existence. And this, to go aside
from the argument, was the light in which the
whole South saw the result at the first glance when
the war was over. The South at the close of the
war had no political rights that the Government
could be required to respect, and the best it could
claim for its position was that it stood under the
law of nations, as a conquered enemy. But the
South could not justly complain of this, for it had
itself invited the State that suspended all civil
rights, and it must be content with the position in
which it was found when the war powers once
more gave way and the nation returned to the
Government of civil law. One of the asserted
principles in the war was that the slaves should be
made free. That was declared by proclamation,
and, lest a proclamation made during war should
not hold good for peace, steps were taken to put
that part of the Northern war platform into the
Constitution. Thus it was positively determined
by the nation that the abolition of slavery should
be a result of the nation's victory, and that another
result of that victory should be that Congress
should have one more specific power given to it--
the power so to arrange Southern society as to
carry out in letter and spirit the intention of the
country, that the South should again stand on a
level with the North only after its society was re-
organised by a full revision of the position of the
negro. Force is implied in all organisation of
society, and just now the force is on the Northern
side. It is to carry out the Northern will as ex-
pressed by that result of the war—the constitu-
tional amendment. The Northern victor, having
put down the enemy by force, offers the two pro-
positions of the amendment as his will, as the condi-
tion on which his conquered enemy may have the
foot removed from his breast and stand erect again,
and even come fairly in as au equal. That is the
real force of the constitutional amendment, and the
section that gives Congress the power for "appro-
priate legislation" is not less significant than that
which formally abolishes slavery. Since the aboli-
tion of slavery restores all men to the natural con-
dition, Congress has to regulate the position of
each by the necessary laws. Let it now, therefore,
simply pass a law regulating the suffrage, and
thus determine what the real position of the
negro is.

gratify our " conscience" and feelings of " honesty"
by paying off the principal of the debt, but whether
we could be quite sure of being always ready to pay
the interest.

That we should now, after such experience, enter-
tain a proposal to change our course and abandon a
system which, mainly inaugurated by Sir Robert
Peel, has been at the root of all our tremendous
growth in prosperity, and which has likewise made
us, more than any other nation, the apostles of peace
and good-will, is one of the most marvellous in-
-1 stances of the way in which men may shut their eyes
to the teaching of all that has been taking place
under their immediate view. But there are yet other
considerations that make the affair more surprising.
Thirty years ago not only was the annual burden
of the debt much greater, the relief in the reductions
of interest which our prosperity has subsequently
enabled us to effect having been very considerable,
but there was actually at that time a tendency to an
advance in the value of gold which would cause the
pressure of a fixed debt to become more severe with
every year of its continuance. From this state of
affairs a wonderful revulsion has been in progress
more than 16 years, and is still steadily in operation.
The gold discoveries in California and Australia
have already produced their expected results. It
may safely be said that from this cause alone the
weight of the National Debt has been reduced 10 or
15 per cent.—a result which is practically the same
as if eighty or a hundred millions of it had been
paid off. Coincidentally there has been, and will
still continue to be, a large yearly increase of popu-
lation, so that the annual charge to be met is les-
sened to every individual by its wider extension.

United States Customs Receipts.

The receipts from duties on imports at the four
principal ports of the United States, during
the month of December, 1865, amounted
to $9,841,552.76, and it is estimated that when
the returns from all the minor ports have been re-
ceived the amount will reach $11,000,000 for last
month. The total receipts from this source during
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1865, was a little
over eighty-four miliions of dollars, while the re-
ceipts for the first half of the present fiscal year,
ending Dec. 31st, 1865, will be as large as the total
receipts for the whole of the fiscal years ending
in 1864 and 1865. The following table exhibits
the receipts of the four principal ports, by months,
since the 30th of June last :

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer
in our market to-day was good. The trade was inactive,
and prices were with difficulty supported.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were on the increase, and in fair average condition.
The supply from Scotland was good, and of prime quality.
From Ireland the receipts were again limited. Compared
with Monday last the beef trade was inactive, at a decline
in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A few very superior
Scots and crosses sold at 5s 2d, but the general top figure
was 5s per 81bs. Beasts can now be forwarded in Surrey
and Middlesex only within the radius of four miles from
Charing-cross. A few inferior beasts were left unsold at
the close of business.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other
parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,200 various
breeds; from Scotland, 560 Scots and crosses; and, from
Ireland, 150 oxen, &c.
Although the supply of sheep was very moderate, the
demand for all breeds was quiet, at prices barely equal to
this day se'nnight. Prime Downs and half-breds sold at
from 6s 4d to Os 8d per 81bs.
There were a few lambs on offer. They realised 8s
per 81bs.
The few calves on sale were readily disposed of at high
rates—viz., from 5s 6d to 6s 6d per 81bs.
Prime small pigs were quite as dear as last week, but
large hogs were much neglected.
