CANADA.

All seems quiet and comfortable in this quarter of
the globe. Governor Bagot has left Kingston to lay
the ibundation of a college at Toronto—thence he
proceeds to Halifax, where he expects to meet his
wife. The Toronto papers contain long and'glow-
ing accounts of his arrival there, and say it was
the most brilliant affair ever witnessed in British'
America. Sir George seems to be a great favourite.
Lord Sydenham has left his property, by will, to
his brother Poulett Scrope, M.P. He has a large
landed property in Canada that cost him nothing.
It will be sold in farms, and the cash sent to London.
The miserable fool Hogan, it seems, after all, had
nothing to do with the burning of the Caroline, and
is now treated as a puppy by all parties. Mr. Hill,
Mayor of Rochester, has addressed a letter 'to Mr.
Counter, Mayor of Kingston, on the Hogan case, to
assure Mr. Counter that there is a good feeling here
towards a steady continuance of commercial inter-
course—that Mr. Hogan was treated with great ten-
derness—but that his visit was a matter of regret.
So far so good. Trade is improving, and every-
thing seems tolerably smooth in Canada.

TIIE INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDEIE.—We have
every reason to believe that an extraordinary number of
visitors, including many distinguished individuals, will
honour Cam bridge with their company at the Installation
of the Chancellor. The preparations for the grand ball
in the Fitzwilliam Museum have already been begun,
and in addition to the arrangements, steps have been
taken for holding a grand horticultural exhibition on
Thursday, the 7th of July. The musical performances
will take place as follows :—Saturday evening, July 2, a
concert ; Monday evening, July 4, an oratorio ; Tues-
day morning, the performance of the Installation ode ;
Tuesday evening, a concert ; and on Wednesday morn-
ing, an oratorio, " The Messiah." The oratorios will be
held in Great St. Mary's church, and the concerts in the
Senate. house. The band and chorus will consist of up-
wards of 140 performers, including the elite of the Phil-
harmonic and Opera bands. Engagements will be offered
to the most eminent vocalists.—Cambridge Chronicle.
Last week a woman named Leger, residing at
Pont-Saint-Martir, near Nantes, was left alone with her
grand-daughter, a little girl three years old, her son-in-
law and daughter having gone to the fair of Villeneuve,
when some malefactors entered and pierced the unfor-
tunate woman with nineteen blows of a knife, and the
unfortunate child with twelve. They then robbed the
house of 4,000 f. and departed. Their two victims are
since dead. Active search has been instituted to discover ,
the perpetrators, but without effect.
On Sunday last, the tower of the Church of Epoye,
near Rheims, was struck by lightning. The electric
fluid descended into the body of the church, where a con-
gregation was at vespers, affected .1-our or five persons
slightly, and escaped without doing any further damage.
SIR G. LEWIN.--Sir Gregory Allnutt Lewin re-
ceived from Government, on Thursday last, the appoint-
ment of Recorder of Doncaster.—Leeds Journal.
COMPTON-MOUSE, SOHO.—Sewell, Evans, and Co.,
(late Sewell and Cross), having now completed their pur-
chases in the Home and Continental Markets, beg most re-
spectfully to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, that
their premises, which in the interval have received consider-
ableimprovements to render them more commodious than be-
fore, are now opened with a magnificent stock of goods, which,
in extent and variety, they feel confident cannot be surpassed in
the Metropolis. S., E., and Co., in enumerating a few of the
articles of which they have purchased extensively, would parti-
cularly call attention to an immense variety of rich Spitaltields
and French silks, foulards, satins, and velvets, Lisle and Valen.
ciennes lace, blonds of every description, British and Oriental
shawls. Novelties in great variety seleeted in—Paris, Lyons,
and Brussels. The Furnishing department comprises Brussels
and French carpets, rich chintzes, silk and merino damasks,
satin tabarets, Utrecht velvets. In the Drapery department
are Balzorines, de leines, muslins of all sorts, linens of every
description, manufactured expressly for this establishment; a
lei ge assortment of the French and Paisley shawls, now so
much in use, together with an endless variety of articles in the
hosiery, glove, and haberdashery department. Sewell, Evans,
and Co. trust, by the strictest attention, to merit a continuance
of that patronage which has been already so liberally bestowed
on the late firm of Sewell and Cross, 44 and 45,91 d Compton-
street ; and 46 and 47, Frith-street, Soho-square. N. B. Or-

A more sound feeling with regard to foreign-101

time than at any former period, and as that has been
caused by sad experience, it is likely to continue'
Thousands have been crippled in their resourose4!A

Governments anxious to get still deeper into debt, ...14
question now is, will that feeling act as an. effeot
check to the loan which the Government of
United States is about to contract? If 11-
judge from the tone of the public press, the questl°,o
may ba answered in the affirmative. Scarcely

ject, and some
,even, go so far ,as to Ose.
that no house in the . City, hoWever PI;
erful, would dare to take upon itself w.
to of introducing American 'Scrip ,
the, notice of their fellow-citizens, under existing c;;
cumstances. We are glad to see this new Moog'
for not many months ago, sonic who denounced ill
such strong terms American Scrip were 'ref'
favourably disposed towards' a new loan to a countri
that in all probability will never pay eitl:es
04
principal or interest—namely, Spain. The ljni.ol,
States certainly are not in such a desperate condit'le
as that country; the Government we believe 'are titiLd
honest' in their promises to pay interest, and Ohl-,
the principal at the stated period; but till t,,,,.
Executive and the Legislature obtain more, po'be
and influence over the separate States of tro
Union, we should consider the credit of the Fe4e
Government of a very doubtful character. The el°
ple of Great Britain have lost vast shims by lowly,:
some of the States and public bodies; the money has
expended in improving the country, in making can° ;
railroads, bridges, and other great works ; yet= ic4ii,
of the separate Legislatures have repudi ated' these 10$1x
and left the unfortunate creditors to shift for 010;
selves. The object of this new loan is to get ni°ll4.
from other people, and, save the citizens, of the T-Triltrs;
States from additional taxation ; and, among °the ;
those very States which have refused to Pitl,l
their just debts. If the representatives
