Carrdiam Politics Resignation Of the Cabiazs-De-
feat of DR.. Rolph-Duuness Of the Cty-7M Fa-
kr Of Liza.
It is q great mercy that our election comes
round only once in four years; for the little dirty
puddle Of Canadian politics exhibits wonderful o.
fervescence, and the nauseating miasma that arises
therefrom is exceedingly noisome and hurtfu to the
well being Of the community. The majority OF
Canadian politicians, hitherto, have consisted OF
pack Of hungry la wyers, who have used every con-
ceivable dodge to get Q seat in the Legislature,
because, beside their pay during the session. they
are Of work during the recess putting in ope-
ration the laws they have been trying to tinker up
and palm upon the province. During the session
which closed recently, no fewer than 322 bills were
introduced, and of that number III became laws.
One member introduced ~, two memoers intro
duced Is each, one member IA, and two IL each:
1t is currently reported to-day that the cabinet
has resigned, preparatory to q new election, which
will take place very shortly. This event might
have been announced sooner, but there has been =
considerable amount of copjuring to get sort OF
coalition cabinet posed Of the liberal divisions,
styled reformers and clear grts. The reformers
have held Office for the last four years, and have
given very great dissatisfaction to all parties and
in order to keep out the third dvision-the tories
new combinations have been talked Of; but
The best laid schemes o. mice and men
Gang aft agee."
And it is to be feared that such fate will befAl
the many plans that have been brought forward.
1t Is considered absolutely here, that the
ruling power should have portion Of the press ut
their bod, in order to bolster up all their sayings
and dOings, right or wrong; and no little stir has
in consequence been made, at the outset OF these
fol nations, to get organ to supply the ps,s
of the Globe, which has become disafected. Other
have bid high for it but in the last Eran,iner tho
movement has got the go-by, and the Amsrican
is stigmatized for its detertion Of principle for
bread and butter, 80 that it is likely the North
Amricdn will have the privilege of being organ
grinder No. to the new cabinet.
A leading reformer of the olden time, Dr. kolph,
an eminent character, was looked to as likely TO
make premier Of the first water, capable OF sooth-
must subsist between Upper and Lower Canada.
He was nominated to q vacant constituency, whore
the grits boasted Of his triumphant success but to
their utter astonshment, the votes OF the delega-
tion stood 20 to l6 so that the Doctor refused to
stand the decision Of pole, and young farmer,
resident in the district will, in all walk
in with Little or opposition. There is ne doubt
that the Doctor will get constituency, as he is the
corner stone of the grit movement.
Toronto has been very dull this past week. The
Mayor and Corporation, and the heads OF depart
ments, &c. have been doing the amiable at Boston.
and are just beginning to make their appearance.

Montreal, on his way from Boston, and met with
warm reception, Notwithstanding the fre and fsg-

expected to visit Brockville Fair bis way to the
Falls, where Lady Elgin is at present sojourning,

Northern Railroad, as the ceremony of stunning
the fIst sod" is expected to be performed by her
ladyship. The government offices are all shut up,
and number of the off ,ials have already removed
to Quebec, which is to be the seat Of government
for the ne four years. 1t strikes me that that it
would have been more phuosophic for government
to have adopted the sug sestion of William L. Mac
kenzie, which was to get a large steamboat con-
tructed, capable Of containing all the government
eficials and let them sail up and down the lakes.

will be very expensive aud will interfere very much
with the comfort and stability of society.
There is talk Of q music hall being about to be
erected here soon; but | dare say IL will be some-
thing like our railway movements; there vii be
great deal more talk about it first The only
novelty of an attractive nature that have at pro-
sent is the presence Of magical gentleman who
glories in the cognomen Of the Fakir Of silva. He
Is doing his bstt to dispel the monotony which
reigns around, consequent on the reaction caused
by the removal Of the seat Of government.
