NEW BOOKS.

We have received from Mr.. Franck Taylor,
handsome volume entitled Flora LINDSAY,
or Passages in an Eventful Life" by Mrs.
Noodle. We have not been able to do more
than glance at this volume, and cannot there
fore speak critically of its merits. We have
also received from the same source, /" The Mas
tiers House, a tale of Southern Life"
This latter volume we have examined more
carefully, and find it a feeble, foolish, and dis
honest imitation of that vile production known
as 9 Uncle Toms Cabin" 1t is studied abo-
lition novel. The story is undressing, the
style execrable, and the illustrations it gives of
slavery, overstrained, unnatural, and false.
Like all of those productions, it is but means
Of procuring money by deliberate falsehood.
Of all the forms Of abolition, that of trading
.anatic is the most disgusting.

ance of active duty, yet receives the pay and
emouments of his grade, either on nominal
duty, or upon leave of absence. The cam
paigns of Mexico have materially increased
this class Of officers, and the expansion OF our
frontiers has caused four, ffths of the troops to
be employed on very active duty. The garri-
sons Of the Atlantic seaboard have been al
most entirely removed to the west, and they
no longer afford to the disabled officer the OPP
portunity Of remaining with his regiment III
the sedantary duty Of commanding police
guard to fertilization. He has, therefore, nc
option left but to report himself unfit for duty
and he is placed upon what may be called .
permanent leave Of absence, and is in fact Q
peasioner in the receipt of all his pay and al
lowances.

question, he found they confirmed Lord Met
calf's estimate as to the amount of force ne
cessary to defend Canada successfully, and it
was utterly beyond the means of this country
to provide it. 1t might be said that we did sue
cessfully defend Canada in 1914, and that we
had made great progress in wealth since. That
he admitted, and he wished he could add that
we had made equal progress in military
strength. If, however, we had advanced in the
career of prosperity, consider the enormous
progress which the United States had made in
their innumerable railroads, their welappointed
and well-disciplned army---an advantage which
they did not formerly possess, for they con-
Quoted the war in 1914 with mere rabble.
Considering the increased strength and APP
pliances at the command of the United States,
it would hardly be possible to defend Canada
with any hope of success. The very idea of .
war with the United States was horrible. The
event would be one of the greatest evils one
of the direst Of human Affections. Connected
as we are in all the details of commerce. it
would be more like tearing asunder the limbs
of one human body than the collision of two
separate bodies. Why, needlessly, increase the
chances of war? Our brethren on the other
side OF the Atlantic are very ambitious, and
extremely sensitive on the point of honor. So
we're we; and we were also extremely sensitive
on the point Of justice. Not only would we
not endure injustice to ourselves, but we would
not tolerate the perpetration of injustice to
another These considerations should lead us
to regard rupture with the United States as
an event which might happen at some period.
Under these circumstances, he hoped that, at
an early period, the government would commu-
nicate with the leading persons in the legisa
tive assemblies of the North American colo
MES, with the view Of ascertaining their opinion
on the subject of a separation. We should
consult with them in the most friendly spirit,
as if they were members of one and the same
family in which we felt deep concern"

CONGRESS.
Tn The Senate Yesterday Mr. q;

In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Gillette presented
