ANNEXATION or CANADA New York
correspondent Of tbs Qucbec Chronicle mas
stirred up quite breeze in her Majesty's Do
minions by certain statements in a recent let.
ter. In that letter be calls the attention Of
his Canadian readers to a recent work issued
in Paris, from the pen ofthe Able Brasseur
de Bourbourg, a Canadian Catholic. The
author Of this " History Of Canada" who is
supposed to speak authoratively for the French
portion Of the Canadian population. boldly de-
clares in favor Of the perfect independence Of
the Roman Catholic Church from the power Of
England lie looks forward to severance Of
the political bonds which unite Canada to
England, and while he would prefer to see the
Government Of France again in authority on
the banks Of the St. Lawrence, he secs no 9th
er way open but annexation to the United
States. His prejudices are still active against
the heretics Of New England, but he vet hopes
to sec the day when the Canadians will be
united with these people in peace and harmo-
ny. This book has an important bearing just
at this particular period as indicating the SEN
timents Of the French Catholics Of Canada.
The same letter which calls attention to this
book, also goes on to state as fact that James
Buchanan is authorized By the Cabinet at
Washington to sound the British Government
on proposition which should cede the British
North American Colonies to the United States
for the principle Of Free Trade--the United
States 10 have a clear title 10 all the territory
now held BY England-and the latter to have
full and absolute free trade for all her manu-
factures to the markets Of this country, and to
extend to us the same privileges in al British
territory. We do not know how far this state
ment can be relied on, though tisquite clear
that such an exchange could not fail to bene-
fit England and the Colonies thus disposed
Of SO far as we are concerned, we incline TO
the belief that such a bargain would not be
Injurious, as the condition Of Europe has ma
terially changed within the past five years.
Emigration to the United States, 70 Australia
&C., has drained Europe Of its surplus labor.
We are longer called on to compete with the
pauper labors of the Old World. The con-
test is now 10 the field of machinery. In this
conflict we feel confident that Yankee skill
ingenuity and enterprise will be fully able to
take care of itself against the world lhis
being the case, we need no longer fear free
trade with England We produce the staple
articles, and are fully able to compete IN their.
manufactures. What then have VIC to fear!
Taking this view Of the case, we shall be glad
to see this announcement authoratlysiy cor
roborated. It is quite clear that Canada IS
ripe for the move nent from the manner N
which this letter has been received BY Dotn
Catholics and Protostauts. Ii IL now evIdens
that the present administration will decide the
question of Canadian annexation. and from
present indications it may be disposed Of at an
carly ay.--DcgPQtch,

with great kindness, and cured HIM Of that

might be completed, his humane master
brought him up the Orinoco with US; and as
he had been accustomed to the kitchen, or,
what i better understood in the West Indies,
the cookroom, employed him as cook on board
the schooner. The crew having been much
faticuod with their exertions that day, the
cautain ordered his cook to make some good

ddressed 20 he memory Of GumFoRD BucKvE
youngest son Of q. g. Torrrey, icho died on Sand,
Morning, Nay i5h, ls53,--aged years mont
10 days -
Sleep on, sweet boy, thy journeys o'er
Ere yet thy life had well begun;
Thou ne'er shall feel its sorrows more
Thy sun has set thy sands have run.
Twas on a holy Sabbath morn
Thy infant spirit took its hight;
BY Angel hands thou vast upbone,
To yonder land ofendless light.
Before thy heart had known life's cares,
Or felt the world cold chilling gaze,
Thou hadst escaped from sll its snares
To chaunt on high thy Sayiour's praise.
There arc rho mourn thee, gentle boy,
But not as those whose hope has fed
They know that bliss without alloy,
Is poured upon thy infant head
Thy Saviour saw with pittying eye,
The thorny path through life's dark maze,
And sent thine Angel from on high
To clip the thread Of thy young days
Dear little lamb thou art not lost
But safely the Shepherds arms,
Far from keen blasts and nipping lrosts
Secure from danger and alarms.
