Several meetings have been held in Nova
Scotia, recently. to discuss the question of
annexation to the United States. Resolu-
tions were passed.. to the effect that annex
alton was highly desirable for the prosper>
ity of the provinces. The feeling Of discon
tent at the conduct Of the Home Govern
ment is steadily increasing. The llalllax
Chronicle says that the arguments of the
annexationists and advocates of indepen
dence are strengthened by every dispatch
from the Colonial Office.
The London Times, referring to the
movement of American bonds to Europe,
observes: "1t is necessary to recollect that
people liable for debt are apt to comp lain
of its burthen, forgetting the benefit 1t
brought them. An annual heav! payment
made to foreigners has a more dangerous
element Of unpopulaIity tn an would exist
in case Of the liabilities being held at
home"

gcr>cars being thrown entirely from the

was occasioned by the breaking of an aXel
in the forward passenger coach, the axel
and one of the wheels being forced up

The London Times considers tho effect
the Suez Canal will have on British inter
ests. 1t says: ave are aware that in Paris
and Florence, and even in St. Petersburg
there is great ezultatlon at the nation that
by the opening Of the canal, trade may be
turned into new channels, and heavy
blow dealt to the nation which made the
best use Of the old ones. We will not al
low ourselves to be discomposcd by their
illiberal representations. 1t was not the
English who first sailed around Africa, or
make settlements in India. No better
favor is needed at Port Said than the free
competition which availed us so well at the
Cape of Good Hope"
