Tine CAxADAs.-The Montreal papers are full Of
amusing remarks the recent changes and counter
changes in the cabinet of Qaeen Victoria. Some Of
them are very angry because the Queen would not
dismiss her noble chambermads and seamstresses at
the bidding Of Sir Robert Peel. They swear the
Queen acted unconsttutonally. We don't know
how this may be, bat she certainly acted naturally
II Sir Robert Peel were to ask spirited american
lady-and here all spirited and beautiful women
queens--to dismiss her chambermaids before he
would take the post of overseer, such Sir Robert
the Peel would soon find "peeler"-that's ALL We
are glad that Victoria showed proper spirit the
occasion-it has increased her popularity ton fold
among our loafers and locofocos-which is not to
be sneezed at. We observe, also, that the Canad-
ans are in favor Of union Of the two Provinces
We trust the union may soon take place. in order
that the militia may be enabled in Canada to return
to work. and thus let the regular troops have some
peace both sides of the line. Any thing for peace
but removing Of chambermaids. Aprop0s.-
The conduct Of Col Prince in Upper Canada-gene-
rally known as the Z" fine old English gentlem man,
has been characterized by the organ Of the British
government in the House Of Commons as an out
rage"-yes, " an outrage" "Think of that, Master

OCEAN STEAM VESSELS FOR THE ATLANTIC
CoAsT.-Last Saturday, we mentioned the sale of
the steamer Natchez, for $4,000, and a short time
since, the disposal of the Neptune for S23O0O Both
these vessels cost over Sl25,000 each, and were
hardly one year old when knocked off at the above
prices.
The fact is, our builders construct such steamers
that is impossible to sell them after they have
made one or two trips, at quarter fortheir original
cost. There never has been a steamer built in this
country, for the coast navigation, that fit for it,
and there never will be, long they follow the
models of the river steamers The Neptune, Natchez
and Charleston, are but river steamboats, Of large
size-they long, but have no breadth, and two or
three trips to sea generally knock them up. We
believe the Na.chez is the strongest and most dura.
BILE vessel Of the kind built in the United States
but she would never cross the Atlantic We want
such boats the Royal William and Sirius to nav-
gate coast and four steamers like them would
keep up regular and quick communication with all
the soathern seaports.
The keel of government steamer has been laid
up town, and every exerton will be made to make
her equal if not superior to any steam ship afoat-
When she is completed we shall see how near our
ship-builders have arrived at perfection in the con-
struction Of ocean steam vessels.
PROFESSOR EsPEY-THE STORM THEoRY.-On
Monday evening the learned lecturer entered into
interesting explanation Of his theory of storms and
winds, before numerous and select audience, ac-
companied by amusing experiments with philosorhi-
cal instruments illustrative of the action of the
atmosphere in producing clouds. The main point in
the evenings discourse the action which large
cloud has in generating wind, the theory being that
the wind rushes from all quarters of the compass to
the centre Of the cloud making up, and falling
out alter reaching certain height. Hence in what
ever direction il blows, the inference is that in that
direction, at a greater less distance, storm is
raging. IL follows that by establishing circle Of
observation extending large surface, the
course OF storms, their distance, and the rate at
which they travel, may be ascertaned, and also
when they will reach us. The perfection of such
system must b. fraught with great benefit lar
mers as well as seamen Tonight his lecture is still
more novel. lie will explain how rain nav be
caused arti6cially in dry time. Much interest is
excited in this particular. Verify Professor Espev
is beginning to create stir this poetical and fas-
cinating science. He gives another lecture this
evening.
