THE BRITISH REINFoRCEMENTs FOR CANADA.
In the House of Lords, on the lIth of June, Mr.
Adderley asked the Under Secretary of State for
war whether it was true that three more regiments
OF infantry and a force Of artillery were under
orders for North America, and that the Great East
ern steamship had been engaged for their transport
Mr. I. G. Barring said that two regiments Of IN
fantry in addition to the regiment of infantry be-
fore under orders for Canada, and battery of
artillery were to be cespatl he'd t. Canada, AMI he
believed that two regiments and the. bs ttery of
artillery would proceed by the Great Eastern.

"Its an i'll wind that blows nobody good.n The
much neglected Great Eastern, after all sorts of
Iaisadventures has at last found its way into gov
ernment employ, and we venture to think its capac-
ity as troop ship will prove so extraordinary as
TO recommend its permanent appropriation to the
government service. Lord Palmerstons anticipa-

and has compelled the Authorities TO take immediate
steps for placing the dsces Of our North american

There is apparently something very mysterious

Niagara southwark, and of the virtual raising OF
the blockade. Such state of things can
hardly fail to produce very mischlevOus results and
it seems to be inevitable that before long the ques
ton of paper blockade will become subject of
serious discussion. The government and the nation

threats, must induce British Minister to forego
one iota of the rights of British subjects.
We desire the more earnestly to impress this upon
