British North America.

The news details which for some time past
we have been giving in the columns of the
HERALD enable us to form an opinion of tho
prospects Of the new Dominion. II was mani
fest TO many, ourselves among the number,
that though the confederation scheme was
grand and in many respects praiseworthy, il
had 70 deal with interests which were too
essentially antagonistic to be permanently re-
united or made compatible with peaceful
and prosperous union. The hasty and some
what arbitrary manner in which the union was
at last effected did not encourage us to alter
our opinion. 1t left too many burning hearts
and too many bleeding sores to warrant us to
conclude that the new Dominion would not
soon reveal symptoms Of disease.
Unhealthy symptoms are already making
themselves manifest From the outset nv
merous and influential party in Lower Canada,
openly opposed to tho union. The opposition
spirit If We may judge from recent events, Il
gaining rather than losing in intensity. During
the course of the last month meetings were
held In Nova Scotia which, from the numbers
who attended, from the influence which they
represented, as we'll as from the speeches
which were delivered, leave no room for doubt
that Nova Scotians are bitterly opposed to the
confederation. II would, OF course. be absurd
to expect that the Ottawa Parliament should
devote itself entirely to the interests of single
province. and 1t is quite possible that the
people ofNova Scotia are unreasonably sensi-
tive because Of the subordinate place they
occupy In the confe ederatiOn. Whether they
have just grounds for dissatisfaction is no busi-
ness Of ours. We merely note the fact that
dissatisfaction exists The Halifax meeting, at
which the Hon. James Howe, . well known
Nova S,otian politician, took prominent part,
has, as appears from the despatch Of Satur-
day from Montreal, created quito commotion
In Lower Canada and elsewhere throughout
the confederation. 1t will not surprise US to
learn that meetings similar to that at Halifax
are being held wherever local interests are
suffering. Nova Scotia openly petitions to be
separated from the confederation. Ii New
Brunswick and Lower Canada adopt . similar
course the new Dominion will not have trouble
to seek.
Whether there is vitality enough in our
Young brother to rise superior to all these diff:
iiculties we know not We.wish him no evil
II, however, 1t be discovered that he has under.
taken mission to which he is not equal we
shall not be unwilling to open our arms to re.
ceive him and to allow him TO share the benefits
resulting from our superior wisdom and

Ocean and from the Atlantic to the Pacific

well for British North Americans TO look des

A telegraphio letter recently received from
Japan informed US that the Tycoon (or, as Ii
appears he ought to be called, ShagOon) had
resigned his powers into the hands OF the Mi
kado. At the time this letter was received we
gave II as our opinion that the revolution
Of which this resignation was the result
was resctionary. Tho letter which we
publshsd from the pen of our special
correspondent in Japan; confirms our
opinion. The Shagoon was in favor OF
advancing In the pathway Of modern pro-
gress. Arrangements bad been made, with his
sanction and approval, to open up certain
ports TO foreigners at the beginning Of the
present year. Such arrangements were made
in opposition to the Mikad0 and the greater
Daimios, who, 1t appears, are utterly opposed
to all foreign influences, regarding as they do
what we call Christian civilization as an un-
mitigated evil Our latest letter bears date
December 2. and consequently We have
no means Of knowing whether or not
the ports Of Hiogo and Osaka were
thrown open at tho time agreed upon.
Our correspondents letter creates doubt
In our mind ON this subject. Prior to the
abdication Of the Shagoon the foreign minis
ters who had an interview with the Gor0gio.
or council Of the smaller Daimios, OF which the
Shagoon Is chief, were informed that the only
port which was to be opened was that OF
Neagata, and that it could not be opened until
the first of April This is proof sufficient that
the Shagoon, before his abdication, was in DIFF.
Aculty and entirely at the mercy Of his council
Of advisers. 1t remains now to be seen what
course will be followed. II the ports which
it was arranged should be opened at the com
mencement Of this year were not opened
according to treaty arrangements, trouble Is
all but certain and if pressure Is brought to
bear upon the Japanese government foreign
Influences may force the Shagoon back into
power The fall Of the Shago0n was the
triumph OF the reactionary party. with The
Mikado at their head 1t is too late now Tor
Japan to remain absolutely exclusive and II
the government now in power persist in re-
dictionary policy foreign influence is certain
to become dominant and The restoration of the
Shagoon may safely be counted upon. It was
Commodore Perry who, in 1853 made japan
known 10 the modern world and since then,
in all negotiations with that people, tho
American Minister has by all the Powers
been courteously yielded thero q superioI
place. In the events which are now tran.
spring aud which may ycs tranSpire we are
deeply and necessarily concerned. Future
letters from our correspondent will therefore
be anxiously awaited.

The Itaiiaa Expedition 60 tho Parana.
by kilograms from Florence and Naples,
through the Atlantic cable, We are told that
the Italian squadron lying in tho Bay of
Naples has been ordered on foreign service,
and that It's destination Is the Psran& river,
South America The dispatches indicate that
considerable official secrecy is attached to the
movement, and that Premier Menabrea, when
questioned respecting it, refused to explain the
object of the expedition, and was reported
at Naples that the officers Of the feet were to
leave the home waters under what are gen.
orally known as sealed orders.
This intelligence Is at this distance rather
difficult of feasible Interpretation. What busi-
ness has an Italian Acct in the waters Of
La Plata and why should such an expedition
be moved just now, considering the condition
Of the royal treasury and the troubled aspect
of the political situation In the cities OF the
kingdom and Rome! There are, as is known.
great many Italians, say nfty thousand, settled
in Brazil, Paraguay and the surrounding terri
tory; but we have not heard that any Of them
have been engaged in the present war, or that
any have been offended or suffered loss at the
hands Of the contending parties. The Italian
emigrants in South America appear indeed to
be humble, inofensive and industrious class
OF persons, and we should think that their
material interests were mol OF sufficient lmpor-
tance to invite the interference of their govern
ment in any shape, either in their hehalf or
rs armed mediators between Brazil and Para
quay in the Parana. A couple Of Italian war
vessels were or Rio Jeneiro at the commence
ment of the hostilities between Brazil and the
allies but, II we are not mistaken, they were
Withdrawn soon afterwards
Should the Italian fleet be made ready for
active duty of Naples its services may be re-
quired much nearer home, and we incline
TO the opinion that the South American ex-
peditionary rumor is merely red tape caaard
set aaoat 10 cover the work OF arming and
coaing. The vessels may be wanted OF Civita
veccbia, they may be required In the North
Sea, or, seeing the re dictionary agitation which
prevails within the walls Of Naples itself, per-
haps King Victor Emanuel may be preparing
to repeat the very unpopular prescription Of
the late King Bomba towards the inhabitants
Of that city. As to the expedition 70 the Parana
we mus. await further developments.
