OTTAWA, Aug. 1U.-The new American Con
sui at this port has established an exchange
room, where Americans and foreigners can re-
ceiEe and lmpart information.
The most contradictory rumors are in circu1a-
ton respecting the result Of the mission OF the
Canadian Ministers to England; but the general
impression appears to be, that the deputation
has been shown the cold shoulder by The Imperial
authorities.
Nova Scotia visitors stato that, in their prov
ince, some time ago, the Department OF Marine
and Fisheries sent to the house OF dead man
named James Mckay, who had been Fishery
Warden, formal notice Of his dismissal.
Some months ago, pretended single woman
arrived in this city, aud took board at Queen
street house. A wood-carver boarding at the
same place became cnamored Of and finally
married her. Subsequent events revealed the
fact that the young woman had
been married before, and the second
husband took it as good joke, and was satisfied
to let her depart in peace and return to ncr
legal husband. The doub1y-married woman
sailed from Quebec on Saturday, bound for
Scotland TO rejoin her first husband, who knows
nothing OF what occurred here.
In this city hundreds Of unemployed working
men continue IN forced ldleness, aud suffer in
honest poverty untold misery. The citizen.
which is the Governments local organ, seeing
these facts, endeayors to account for them oy
charging tue men With being wllliully idle, aud
with preferriny 1aziness to Industry. But,
even if this were the case can the same
charges be made against the hundreds OF empty
houses in the city2 To-day there are forty
seven stores to let Oh Sussex street,-one OF the
principal incss-thoroughlares. Besides,
there is the Clarendon House hotel, one OF
the largest buildings in the CITY.

the furniture in the Deanery, unless the inter-
est upon mortgage WIS paid; but this has not
vet been done. The preeent PEOPLES Church
Warden became responsible for the forthcoming
of the goods and chattels when wanted,-upon
which security the Bailiff was withdrawn. II is
understood that, since the above proceedings
have taken place, the Dean refuses to use the
communiou-serrfce, and declines to hold con-
tirmation. The bell was seized, but not re-
moved; and tile Bailif has received instructions
to prevent the organ being used next Sunday.
