Annexation OF CANADA.-Hon. Rob

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.-Hon. Rob-
ERT j. WALKER publishes a communica-
ton in which he denies that his recent visit
to Canada had any thing to do with pro-
iect for annexing that province TO the Uni
ted States, as recently charged in Motreal
paper He acknowledges that he is in IA
vor of such annexation, but never without
the full consent of Great Britain, as well as
the people of Canada themselves So far
from his having been supplied with funds
to forward the scheme, and having con-
terence on the subject with the Governor
General and the Canadian Ministry, he
saws that he is not even acquainted with
Lord MoNcK or any member of his Cabinet.
He pronounces the whole story merely an
other effort of Canadian secessionists to
embroil this country with England.

Monday, April Sd,

A Washington letter says: At present no
change in the policy of the Secretary of the
Treasury is probable. The sale of seven
thirty notes Is steady; indeed, it has been
but slightly affected by the panic The
sale yesterday was between three and four
million. Its believed at the Treasury De-
partment and by the government agent
that the gradual reduction of the premium
on gold will increase rather than decrease
the popularity of these securities. The
fact that within fixed period, and that a
short one, these notes will be convertible in
to money, secures them from depreciation
because of a panic. Even if the long bonds
were to temporarily decline, the simple
fact that these bonds, at the expiration of
three years, will be paid in currency then
doubtless worth as much as gold, the inter-
est meantime being at the high rate of sew
en- and three-tenths per cent, must keep
them at par. These are the opinions of
gentlemen in the Treasury Department
whether they be correct or not.

A dispatch from Montreal gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars of the dis
charge and re-arrestof the st. Albans rob-
bers in Montreal ''The rebel raiders who
robbed the st. Adams banks committed
murder and other depredations, and who
have been on trial here for some time, were
to-day discharged from custody, were at lib
erty for little while but subsequently re- ar
rested on charge of assault with intent to
commit murder. They were also arrested
on charge of violating neutrality. They
were refused to be surrendered under the Ex-
tradition Treaty, on grounds of beligerant
rights. Judge Smith held the treaty no long
er binding on contracting parties, as United
States courts refused to recognize the belig
Grant character of rebels, and cited the
charge of Judge Russell in Savannah. He
also held that Gen Dix s order to shoot them
down recognized the raiders as beligerants,
and not as robbers The raiders were re-
manded until Saturday"

BROWNING'S
EXCELSIOR COFFEE.

Whilst trying Coffee of all the various brands
Remember 'BROWNING'S IS EXCELSlOR'-att tbs
head it stands
True, it's not like others that sS0LD EVERY
A little stretch, we all dc know, good goods will
easily bear
(But stretch like this-"sold everywhere''-is
very apt to tear
Now, can safely say, without any hesitation
There's none like 'sBROWNING'S EXCELSIOR
in this enlightened nation.
Skilled chemists have not found Coffee from any
store
Possessing the same ingredients as sBrowning's
Excelsior
Nor there any one, in out of the Coffee trade
Who knows the article from which Browning
Excelsior's made.
I'm told its made from barley, rye, wheat, beans,
and peas;
Name a thousand other things but the RIGHT
ONE if you please.
But with the coffee men will not hold contention
For the many, many things they say-too numer-
Gus to mention.
Whilst they're engaged in running round from
store to store
To learn the current wholesale price of s'Brown-
ing's Excelsior"
Some who know my Coffee gives perfect satisfac
ton,
Have formed plan by which they hope to cause
quick reaction,
The case-tis with few no doubt twill be more
To name their Coffee after mine, (BR0WNING'S 'S)
EXCELSIOR.
Some say theirs the only brand that will stand
aready test.
Now, try little of them all-see which you like
the best;
Three years have past away since first sold store
Never have in your paper advertised before;
Nor would now, or ever consent TO publish more,
If like some used by everybody" ''sold every
where, in every store"
trade like this do not wish; the orders
could not fill
The factory all Jerseys land would take-leave
not foot to till.
My trade is not very large; still think I have
my share;
But, rea der you must rest assured, It's NOT
SOLD EVERYWHERE"
