A letter from Mr.. liincks appears in the Nom
treai Pilot on the subject of the Government
policy on the Clergy Reserve question. Mr..
Hincks strongly urges that it would be Very
wrong for the present Parliament to settle the
Clergy reserve question. and says that no Gov
ernOr representing the Crown would deem it
consistent with his duty to sanction legislation
on such a question by the present Parliament.
and that an appeal ought TO be made to Lower
Canada before the question is settled.

STATE OF OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPAIN
1t is said that important intelligence has
reached the State Department from Madrid
and Paris. a despatch to thc n V Tribune,
says:
In spite of all his efforts and all diplomatic
in restoring an entente cordiaie with Spain or
in doing anything toward the purchase of
Cuba, the Queen of the Antllas. The obSti-
macy which the Spanish Government mani
tests in the sediment of the Cuban difficulty
is TO he attributed to two causes. First, they
arc confident Of the support of France and
England in case of emergency. Secondly,
they do not believe tie United States Govern.
mcnt is in earnest.
No treaty has yet lccn conclm'ad letarecn
France. Ea4lond ard Spnin on this subject: hut
the preliminary steps for such treaty were
made some time ago, and only failed of con-
summation because England gave notice that
she should insist upon the insertion ola clau sc
in regard to slavery in Cuba, ~hich 'r's so
obnorious to The Spanish Gorer"mcM htm the
aceotiation was s"pcndrd.
Since then Spain has offered France ten
thousand men to supply the place of the ten
thousand French soldiers in Rome, to permit
the latter to join the army in Turkey, on con-
dition that she will pledge her support against
the United States in case of war. Louis
Napoleon refused the proposition because.
alone he could not enter into war with the
United States.

EXTRAORDINARY COUNTERFEIT CON-
Under instructions of the Secretary of the
Treasury, given some months since, to the
mint of the United States, to collect spcci-
mems of counterfeit coins in circulation, for
the purpose of examination and report, one
has lately been received of very singular
character. 1t purports to he Mexican dol
lar, coined at the city Of Mexico in 1851. The
Union says:
Two pieces have been csSaycd, and give an
average fincness of, nc thousandths, and a
a consequent value of 81 cents in silver: but,
strange to say, the amount of gold contained
value of each, after paying the charge of sep
arating, making net value of lob. cts: and
if to this the usual premium on silver is add
cd, the worth of this counterfeit coin is actu
ally 100 cents!
The quality of the silver in these dollars
prove them to be a spurious issue. There is
also an irregnlar,ty in the letters Mcxicana,
which is regarded as test for throwing them
out as we learn from source familiar with
them in Mexico, where they appear to have
had at times considcra bic circulation. The
silver produced by the Mexican mines is I'M
derstood to contain gold, but generally too
small an amount to dcfray the expense of
parting. In making the coins in question, it
would seem that silver more auriferous than
usual had fallen into hands capable of the
double dishonesty cf cheating the public and
themselves at the same time.

Tue REMEDY.-Thc soul sckcns at the
frightfnl loss Of life occasioncd by the coils
ion on the B. & S. Railroad, and while read
ing the particulars, which We give in another
column, memory recalls the numerous dsas-
tcrs that have occurred during the past twelve
months, and in every thoughtful mind the
questions arise, can not some method be de-
viscd to prevent these shocking caamitics
Can not something he done to ensure safety
to travellers Or must we see hundreds of our
citizens mutilatcd, manglcd and hurried into
eternity and passivcly submit to it all ? These
casualties are becoming of too frequent oc-
currcnce to be patiently endured, and it be-
hoovcs us to give tho subject thorough in
vcstigation and place the blame where it
properly belongs, on the companies and pro-
prictors who undertake to carry passengers,
and then to teach them fearful responsible
ity is resting upon them and that human life
is not to he so lightly trited with.
There has been too much talking and too
little acting heretofore, but in this case we
trust public indignation is fully aroused and
will not be suffered to slumbcr till the whole
affair is thoroughly investigated, and the pail
tics, through whose misconduct or negligence
the accident happened, made to suffer the
scvcrcst penalties of the law.
