CANADA.

On Thursday evening a number Of persons,
described as delegates from the different
British North American colonies" met in
convention in this city to pass resolutions in
favor of the annexation of Canada to the
United States. Exactly whom these delegates
represent, OF where they got their credentials,
we are not informed and it will perhaps not
be unreasonable to suspect that they are the
self-appointed spokesman only of those col
onists who have moved across the line to bet
ter their condition. Yet they speak of estab-
fishing relations with organized societies in
st. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, and NewOrleans,
and possibly the "united colonists may exert
influence enough upon their countrymen be-
yond the st. Lawrence to give fresh vitality
to the annexation movement which has lately
shown so few signs Of life. 1t will not do,
however, to build expectations upon the i'm
mediate chances of such a scheme. Canada is
not ready for annexation, is not even anxious
for independence; and it is our part to wait
patiently for what is inevitable.
At present the Dominion is in the situation
of a woman clinging to an engagement from
which the other party struggles TO be released.
She complains of ill-reatment and neglect
but she will not cut loose from the unfortu-
nate union. The Treaty of Washington sacrl-

Fenian raids, her claims to the exclusive nayi-

WHO WILL HOLD TIE NEXT OYER And
TERMINERY

TERNINERY
We understand that there is some disagree
ment as to who shall hold the next Oyer and
Terminer. Judge Ingraham is entitled to do
so by regular assignment. but as Chief
Justice of the General Term he cannot very
wei hold this court at this time. Besides, 1t
would be marked Improperly for him to
try Stokes a second time. and his case Is set
down for Dec. 10. Further, there are reasons
why, just now, We want in the criminal part
of the Supreme Court judge who has the
absolute confidence of the public. Judge In
graham does not possess this. Judge John H.
Brady, we are led to believe, is disinclined to
sit in this court, but we understand he has
asserted that if assigned to the criminal term
he twill sit from the first Monday IN Decem-
"ber until the first of May, or until the Grim
" inal docket is cleared upn He is resolved,
he says if assigned to this duty, to show the
people of this city that they have a
court in which the criminal laws can be en-
forced without useless delay.
This is the true spirit which every good
citizen will heartily commend. There is
nothing New-YOrk needs more at this time
than a positive, Independent, Jealous Judge
criminal laws enforced. Judge Brady has the
entire confidence of the bar and of the people.
Although new to criminal courts, he has lately
received the compliment of the voluntary
withdrawal, by the advocates on both sides on
an important and complicated case, of long
and important rulings which they had asked
withdrawn because of the fairness and clear
ness with which he had charged the jury.
Judge Brady is earnest in his wish to see the
criminal laws enforced and while recognizing
the right of the people to demand this pro-
lection from the courts, he may be trusted
not to be influenced in his Judgment of any
individual case by the clamOr which has been
very properly raised by the press.
We trust to see Judge Brady assigned to
this court; and We hope he will, az he prom
ses, sit until the murderers and public thieves
get full justice. This people demand the en-
forcement of the criminal laws, and they will
trust none to adjudicate them more implicitly
than Judge Brady.

Painful interest in the story OF the Inflated
steamship Missouri will be revived by the
news that four survivors of the crew of the
vessel have been found. The story of these
men. as briefly told by one of their number,
is one of dreadful suffering. Floating waist
deep in water for eight days in swamped
boat, without food or drink, these poor fell
lows, the survivors Of a party of nine, must
have endured terrible agOnies. The tale OF
their trials and rescue is sufficiently dramatic
as given herewith. And this story from the sea
comes Just in time to be added to the weak
defense of the owners of the burned vessel and
their employees. There has been much irrelevant
testimony as to the condition of the machinery
and the soundness of the boiler. Opposed to
that is the positive statement of survivors
that the fire caught around the boilers; that
the flames originated from careleSsly-kept
spirits; that the means for eXtinguishing fires
were inadequate; that the boats were not
properly provided for; that there was no
discipline on the ship. and that the boats
could not be lowered without being swamped.
These seem to be the facts in the case; and
while it is natural that ship-owners should
exercise due care in the preservation of their
own property, it is clear that more vigilance
would have saved every life on the Missouri.

Wall Street was convulscd, yesterday. with
excitement growing out of the" corner" in the
common stock of the Northwestern Railway

there were no sales at anything like these last

So many people are leaving Italy for the
United States that the attention of the Gov
eminent is at last provoked. The inquiry
might be much more properly made in other
European States; the immigration to this
country from Italy is comparatively light; but
the reasons for even this exodus, one would
suppose, are apparent enough. The doleful
fate of the poor swindled people, whose desti-
tuition now excites the sympathy of our citi-
gems, may for a while check Italian immigra-
ton.

There is a considerable subsistence in the
French political tumult, as we anticipated
would be the case. TO be sure NJ. Theirs has
informed one Of the Committees which called
on him that he cannot rclinquish his we'll
known convictions. This need not alarm any
body the genial President always says this
and he always finds n mode of pleasantly get
ting around his convictions when they are IN
the way of an amicablc understanding with
the Assembly. just now, his "well-hnOwn con-
"victiOns" are that be ought to retain his right
to mount the tribune and defend his policy In
the Assembly, keep the right of the initiative
in legislation, and dispense with responsible
ministry. But it is also certain that NJ. Theirs
has never expressed himself as irevocably
committed to either Of these points, and even
if he had, the case would not be hopeless.
The natural inference is, that unless the ex-
IRENE Left shall make some unreasonable de-
mand the President and the Assembly Will
come to terms, and NJ. Theirs VIII continue in
his present Office for four years more. BY
that time he will if he lives, be nearly eighty
years old, and can well afford to retire, full
of years and hOnOrs.
