AN EXTENSIVE CoUNTRY-The Boston

AN EXTENSIVE CoUNTRY.-The Boston
Post relates the following story:
Campbell sometimes called by his
friends "Od Whitley" on account of his
snowy locks is contractor and engineer
on the Vermont Central Railroad. He
is man of considerable humor, is intense
ly patriotic in his views and feelings,
and, take him for all in all, "a decided
trump" Failing in one day at public
house with an English baronet, who,
in company with his valet, was travelling
through the country "in search of infor-
nation" "Old Whitley" determined to
give him some. Having learned, by in
quiry of the landlord, which was the
master" and which was the "man," he
whispered to his companions who sat
near him, "There, boys, is a genuine. live
S1r-ee-lets enlighten him." and i'm
mediately fell to haranguing "on the
great and growing prospects of this i'm
mense and rapidly enlargng country"
"Why sir" said the baronet, turning to
the speechmaker, "do understand you
to say that you mean to add Canada to
your possessions?" "To be sure we do"
said Campbell, "we mast have it, you
see"' 81 don't quite see that," said my
lord;' "but, pray how far do you propose
to extend your boundaries!" "Why, sir.
we've pretty much settled it thus fashion,"
said Old Whitley, earnestly: "South, by
all the water there is around Cape Horn
west, by the Pacific ocean-east, by the
Atlantic (owtside of Cuba, mind you)-
and north, by the regions of eternal con-
gelation."' The baronet gazed at the
calm face of Old Whitley for an instant.

THL DISTURBANCE IN MoNTREAL.-For
some tilae past. the telegraph has been
busy with shreds of information respect
ing the disturbed state of the city of Mon
treal. The isllowing from the Montreal
Gazette OF the 10Th, explains the cause
OF these disturbances, " lille it illustrates
the feelings of the British party in Cana
da:
1.-The foundation of good deal of ex.
element was laid yesterday, and we fear,
of an excitement, which if proceedings 90
on, will lead to results Of no small impor-
tance.
at is stated that Gen. Rowan, COM
mander of the forces, had left town, in
tending to be absent for some time, and
was at the Caledonia Springs, when a
dispatch reached him on Saturday last,
requiring his immediate presence in Mon
treal On arrival. it is said, he was made
acquainted with two facts, the one, that
Lord Elgin was Immediately going to
leave the country, and the other, tha: the
political arrests so long talked of were at
last resolved upon. Arrangements Were
made on Monday for the speedy passage
of troops from the island of St. Helen to
the city, to reinforce the garrison in case
the civil power should be overpowered.
The Briton's Club-a secret society,
whose number and objects are unknown
were called upon yesterday evening by
handbills. to be prepared at any emergen-
cy. at a moments warning. We suspect
that this had some reference to the con-
templated folly of the Government, al
though we cannot positively tell.
ut is known that Lord Elgin's move
ables are all packed ready for move
somewhere; whether to Upper Canada
or the United States. e1 route for Eng
land, we know not. We heard last night
that he departs for England to-day. This
may be true; anything may be true now
a-days; or it may be one of those rumors
set ahoat, on purpose, to prevent people
from believing the truth, when he is ac-
tually to go.
1--WE rest at present upon mine, of
which mad Ministry hold command
A single spark may blow them. and every
body else. into the air. and finally into the

HAZEL EYEs.-Major Noah says that
hazel eye inspires at first Platonic
sentiment, which gradually but surely
expands. and emerges into love as secure
ly founded as the Rock of Gibraltar. A
woman with hazel eye never elopes
from her husband, chats scandal, never
sacrifices her husbands comforts for her
own; never finds fault, never talks too
much or too little; always is an entertain
ing, intellectual, agreeable and lovely
creature. We never knew but one un-
interesting and unaimiable woman with
a hazel eye, and she had nose which
looked, as the Yankee says, like the
end of nothing whitfield down to pint
