TT ee ------ TOO MUCH OF A GGOD THING, It is quite possible 10 have too much of a good thing ; and certainly if the proposi tion bold true in one thing more than an other it does so in legislation,as 1t not uafre~ quently occurs that a nation gets legislated to death, and if our legislation goes on at the rate it is now progressing we much fear that our Dominion, young and vigorous as it may be, will break down under the weiglit of superfluous legislation. About two years ago the Otfawa Goy- 'ernment took our bank circulation in band, aol the effect so far bas been that the cototry has paid over a quarter of a mil lion in the shape of interest more than it vould have done if our Legislature bad, let the banks alone, Again that body last year fixed the salary of the Governor General at $32,000 per ansum, but legis. lation on this head did not stop here.-- The Government who either feared to oppose the passage of the bill, or allowed it to pass io order to have an opportunity of showing off some dextrous legislation, meanly sneaked after the bill and advised the Crown to refuse its sanotion. The consequence was that the bill was trotted back to Canada, stamped with the veto of the foreign office, and after being paddled around for twelve months it again made its appearance in the Houee on the 20th in: stant with the Duke of Buckingbam's non libet on its face. The consequence was that the sybject bud to come up again and a terrible discussion followed, Many hoa: "members were shaken out of their pro. priety and almost out of their senses with unfeigned dreud lest they should offend the Noble Duke, and in penance for their past crime went on their political knees, sol- emoly retracted their $32,000 vote, and voted for the 850,000 ; on the same prin- ciple they would have voted $100,000. -- A crack of the Duke's whip would bring them into line in an hour. Sixty of the members licwever could not be cudgeled jn. to waking a tacit adinission that despatches -y «from Downing st-eet have more authority hap an 'Act of the Dominion Parliament, as parent sad Colony, 'We'hope desire of these -worthies will : soon realized ; we are prefty w as we are as far os. the con- nection goes, at Jeast we might eagily be "Bome of the knowing ones are beginning to bint, aye sad more than hist that it is [bigh time that the connection: between.

Asit is the lovers of national debt will have their fll of it ere five years pass around, BANK SUSPENSION, The suspension of the Royal Cabadian Baak on Friday morning, 21st inst. though far from being unexpected, created no little excitement. at: 'the bank and its agencies. ' In passing the head office in Toronto about 9 o'clock on Friday 'morning, the ominous words " This Bask. bas for the present stopped specie - payment," were placed conspicuously on the main windows. This was the signal for a genersl muster outside, and the opening of a free dis. cussion on the merits of the institution.~-- As the crowd increased their anxiety to get into the bank became more vehement, and had it not been for the presence of the Captain of Police the doors would have experienced a somewbat rough time.-- Tbe bills were being pulled out of greasy pockets in bandfuls and thrust back in dis- gust. Aad as ocean sharks float around the sinking ship to rescue (?) the helpless crew, so the money sharks sneaked around the growling bill-holders on purpose to ease them of the cause of their woe-- the now despised bills, Quite a number changed bands at a discomt of twenty-five per cent. It required the greater part of the day to sober down the impulsive bill-bolders and convinee them of the folly of sacrificing their property without the slightest reason for so doing. The Kingston correspondent of the Globe of Friday, says : " There has been but little or no excitement over the failure of the Royal Canadian Bank.-- The surprise only is that this event did not hap- pen sooner. Pe thency bas been besieged by the holders of The excitement at the Port Perry branch never reached to boiling heat, and very few of the bill-holders were foolish enough to part with their bills at anything of a sacrifice--in fact the doors of the bark were no sooner closed than the mer chants posted vp " Royal Canadian Bank Bills taken at par for goods." Of course there is nothing particularly re.assuring in the bare fact of merchanis taking: the Lills at par, because many, or it may be all of those who thus take'them may have notes to meet at the bank, and of course the bank is obliged to receive its own bills in payment ; so that partics so situated would gaia as much by trading for these | bills as they would by any olher bills.~ | Supposing one had a payment of say and consequenily these sixty members | $1000 to make to the Royal Canadian, he, * stood by their vote of last year. for the as a matter of "course, would pay it, in the smaller sum, Of course those who voted | bills of that bank, and: consequently these + last yeur for tie larger sum were only con. pills would be worth their fall value as far sistent with thems Ives in standing by that |as paying the debt "gues.

MANCHESTER FAIR. The Manchester Quarterly Fair takes place on Tuesday next, June lat. HARD uP, The authorities at Montreal. abandoned the idea of calling out the Volunteers on Queen's Birthday, alleging as a reason, that very many of the men are without clothing. This is very considerate, as 1t would searce- ly be comme il faut 10 have a lot of naked men turn out and fire a feu de joie. -------- THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY, It must be acknowledged that much less noise, bustle and big promises foreshadowed the past 24th of May than is usual on such occasions. Still wa consider. at least fiom all we could see, or learn, that en no pre- vious occasion has that day been regarded with more sincere joy, or celebrated in a more earnest, hearty loyal manner, by all olasses in the community. And at no pre- vious time in the reign of Her Majesty was there a more universal desire, a more sin- cere wish for the health, happiness and safety of the beloved sovereign of the Bri- tish Empire, and that her reign may be long prosperous and happy ; and that the Do- minion of Canada may long remain a faith- fol, and noble wppendage of her Majesty's dominions, The village of Cannington played 1s part nobly and was no exception from the rule they either pounced, rolled, or them to pieces. Persevering effort however has at last been crowned with complete success, and a washing machine has been constricted fully answering the end con- templated ; being easily wrought--a child 10 years can do the largest washing--while the clothes are thoroughly cleansed without There being no such thing as friction about it, the clothes cun- in the slightest degree, while it will wash cleanly and expediti- ously everything requiring washing from the 'finest fabrie to the heavy bed quilt, and blankets.--See Mr. A.

Rogers, weat on sn excursion. to Lindsay, on che 24th, Queen's Birthday. The. boat left her mooring at Port 'Perry, about 74 o'clock a. m, wilt some fifty or siz'y couples, besides tho hands. The morning was bright and cheerful and pro- duced a reciprocal effect on the minds of the passengers, for the pleasing joke and meiry lnugh rang from every corner of the boat. Buveven this was not quile fuet en- ough for gleesorne youth and there being a profuse supply of excellent music en bouid, or at Jeast the means of making it were al hand. The Poit Perry Brass Band war there and four or five first rate violinists with bows well rorined, waited the signal to start. Very soon the decks were cleared and eyes spoke love 10 eyes as the set was made to enter on the mazy dance, and thus ull parties enjoyed themselves 10 their lik- ing. By one o'clock the boat had reached | $5 the wharf at Lindeay. The passengers were allowed to land for three hours, but Lindsay looked rather sober, the places of business being oll closed. The fiendish yell of the whistle told the straggling pass- engers that it was 4 o'clock and the return np inust be commenced* Each party en- joying themselves in whatever way they preferred ; time sped on rapidly, and ere most of them were aware the boat had diawn up at the wharf at Port Perry, The day was most pleasantly and agreeably spent by all on poard. No incident occur- red 10 mar the pleasure in the gree, unless perhaps a slight fracas which 100k plac: at Ceserea. The boat touched a this point, but it was not intended to remain over a few minutes, but short as it was several of the passengers landed one am- ongst the rest was observed buirying with all his might and keeping a bee-line 10- wards a large sign board which hung temptingly out, but whatever his object might be, * the best laid schemes of mice and men ga aft 'a glee §' for just as the renner was passing a corner on the way a man stepped out and intercepted him.

Excursions on the Lake were well patronized ; while the pub- lic parks were thronged. ' The_denizens of Whitby had made due preparation for offering attractions in way of horse racing, and certainly those who had the management of the affair were fully vp to their promise in securing first rate racing, in fact as is seldom witnessed in Canada. The beavty of the morning favored the field and brought out such a crowd as was never before witnessed on a similar occas- ion at Whitby.
