The ex-rebel Tucker, who had resigned his

the belief that the present administration can

A telegram from Victoria reports that the
British Colonist publishes dispatches of an i'm
portant nature from England concerning the
confederation scheme.
Gov. Seymour has been advised that the first
measure which will come before the Confeder-
ated Parliament Of Canada in August will be
one to include within the new confederacy the
whole of British North America He has been
urged to lay the matter before his Council i'm
mediately, and request their voice upon the ad-
Instability OF the admission of British Columbia
into the Union with the condition that the
debt OF the colonies be assumed by the conted-
eracy, and that its payment be guaranteed by
the Imperial Government.
Z The Colonlst says it is believed that the cry
for annexation will be the means of attracting
the attention of the Imperial Government to
the deplorable condition of this neglected col
ony, and hasten confederation. ''ii
