CANADA GENERAL ELECTION.

1t will be rccolccrd that the session Of
the Provincial Parliament of Canada was
last winter brought to an abrupt termination.
and the Parliament was subsequently dis
solved, in consequence Of disagreement
between the Legislative Assembly and tho
Governor-G General, in regard to the selection
which the latter had made of The members Of
his Council. There was in consequence no
legislative business ofany moment transacted
the las, year. A new election has been
lately held, and the new Parliamcn, has
been summoned to meet al Montreal for the
despatch Of business. The Quebec Gazette
gives the following statement Of the political
character Of tie assembly:

ABANDONED IN A DEsERT--The English brig
Amily, Capt. J. c. Ilougc, sailed from London
upon the 7th Of May last, bound TO 'rajoura, a
port in the Red Sea, and arrived upon the 23d
June in sight of the Islands of Trinidada, near
the coast Of Brazil and as it was calm, the mas.
ter landed on one of the islands TO verify the
chronorneter AMI to shoot. In attempting to re-
gain the vessel, the boat was upset in the surf,
broken to pieces, and sailor drowned. Thus
deprived OF means to return to his vessel the
master was compelled to continue upon the is
land with three sailors. The Amty was in
sight during two days, but the mate made no at.
tempt TO succor them, and she afterwards dsap.
peared in the horizon, thus abandoning them on
desert island. They remained there for
tweniy.three days, sustaining themselves on
shell fish until the 18Th of July, when they
were rescued from their painful situation by the
American ship Brandt, which brought them to

MASSACHUSETTS.


Yes, old Massachusetts has exceeded her
self in the great Wing cause. While other
Wing States have backslidden, Massachu-
se'ls has only been inspiriled TO still more in
dominable efforts, and the results are trium.
plant beyond all former precedent. Wing
Presidential Electors, Wing State Executive,
and six Wing Representatives in Congress
and an overwhelming majority in both
branches of the Legislature attests her pa
trloism and crowned her with laurels never
before so brilliant. The Loco Focos have
not been able to elect single member of
the State Senate, and but comparative
small number of Representatives. The ma
oity against Polk, Dallas and Texas is an
nounced at
$4,000!
The majority agains, Van Buren, in 1910
was 10000.
The Birney vote is 10,S60.
Clay's majority over all 3,7l2.
Robert c. Winthrop, Amos Abbott, Geo.
Ashman. Julius A. Rockwell, John Q. Ad.
ans, Joseph GrInneI, six Wings have been
elected.
In the Parmcnter District there is no
choice, Mr.. Thompson Wing, leads Parmen-
ter, about 400. In the 5lh District no choice
but Mr.. Hudson Wing, is 400 ahead. IL
the 9Th District no choice, but probably
Williams Loco, will succeed.

MEXICO.

We can only give the following short
synopsis of the news from NJ oxieo, this
week. We copy from the Saturday
Post:
"It appears that the American Minister to Mexi-
CO, Hon. Wilson Shannon, has received such treat
ment from the Mexican heads Of Departments,
that he declines to hold any further diplomatic in
tercourse with the Mexican Government, until ad-
vised from Washington The following is briei
summary of the natter
ssIt would appear, that on the 3lst ult. Govern
or Shannon addressed letter to the Mexican
government protesting against the proposed inva-
sion of Texas byl Mexico, and especially against
the manner in which the invasion was TO be made.
To this the minister of foreign affairs replied
denying the right of the United States or any for.
eign government to interfere in the internal af
fairs Of the republic. Gov. Shannon, in answer
characterizes the Secretays letter as being gross
Iy offensive, inasmuch as its charges the United
States, its government and people, with falsehood
trickery, intrigue and designs of the most dishon
orable character. Gov. Shannon alleges that the
note of the Secretary is gross in its character,
offensive that he could only demand that it be Al
once Withdrawn.
The Mexican minister replies with the utmos
warmth. He treats thel earlier part of Mr.. Shan
mons correspondence as being supercilious ane
offensive, just6es all that he has himself written
protests that the Mexican government has done
and is doing, all that it can to prevent rupture
with the United States, but that affairs have reach
ed such crisis that it is necessary for his govern
ment to speak out plainly before the world. HI
therefore declines to withdraw the note.
