A correspondent OF the New York Tribune
gives the following flattering account of Can
adian affairs:
There is no prominent subject of legisla-
tion before the country, at present, awaiting
the decision of Parliament. Within the last
few years all the accumulated arrears of leg
islation have been carried. We have altered
our representative sy stem and increased the
number of members in the Lower House from
81 to 130. We have applied the principle of
election to the second chamber. We have
abolished the feudal tenure of land holding.
which the Lower Canada French inherited
from their ancestors, and which they retain
ed fifty years after it had been swept away
in France. We have secularized three mil
lions Of acres Of church lands. We have
remodclled our judicial system. We have
assisted to build great railroads. We have
completed our canal system. We have OBJ
tanned reciprocity with the United States
In short, we have done so much in few
years that we have nothing of pressing i'm
portance left to do.

A HEROIC WoMAN.-A correspondent fur
nishes the Boston Transcript with fact in
regard to the noble conduct of woman,
that deserves honorable mention. The clip
per ship Neptune's Car, Captain Jacob Pat
ten, sa led from New York for San Francis
co about the 29th of July last. The cap
tain, on the passage, was attacked with
brain fever and subsequent blindness the
chief mate having been deposed from duty
previous to the captains illness, and the
second mate being incompetent to navigate
the vessel, the captains wife, who happened
providentially to be aboard, and who
had been taught navigation by her husband,
took charge Of the ship aud brought it safely
into port.

Mr. Summers Letter Of Acceptance.

In the Massachusetts House of Represen-
tatives, on Friday last, communication was
received from Hon. Charles Sumner, accept
ing the office of United States Senator, to
" a. L H. 'nns nAnAn.tlv elected. He does
not indicate in the letter when he shall pro-
ceed to occupy his seat. In accepting his
election, he says:
" The duties Of public servant are not
always conspicuous. Much of his time is
absorbed in cares which, if not obscure, are
little calculated to attract public attention.
Massachusetts, justly cnjoins that no such
interest shall be neglected, but by a solemn
resolution other legislature, by the votes of
her people and the voice of her history, Mas
sachusetts especially enjoins upon her repre-
sentative to see that at all hazards. and
whatever else may suffer, Freedom shall pre-
vail. Let me not neglect this injunction.
Alike by sympathy with the slave, and by a
determination to free ourselves from the
wretched thraldom, We are also summoned
to the effort now organized for the emancipa-
tion of the National Government from the
degrading influence.
Of course, no person, who is not ready to
say in his heart that there is no God, can
doubt the result; but this result, like every
great good, can be accomplished only by well
directed effort. | know something of the
labor and trial which such service imposes;
| also know something of the satisfaction
which it affords, giving to all who truly es-
pouse it a serener joy than an, thing in office
or honor. In the weary prostration Of
months, from which have so happily risen,
my sharpest pang came out of my enforced
separation from the cause which is so dear to
me; and now my chief joy is in the assurance
that to this service may dedicate the Wig
orous health which, through medical care and
the kindly ministration of nature, am per-
mitted to expect"
