B., on the 4th inst, by -^thef pnblic horsewhipping of John Bjwes, One of tke publishers ot the Pejimj pips, bj H, H. Bowie, a Montreal contrac'or, for publishing . an article reflecting on the latter. The Canadian Aloiithjt/ and Bel- ford's Monthly art to bo amalgamat ed, ' the jiirit publication to be edited by Mr. George Stewart, jr., a vigorous and able writer. The leading features of both magazines will be continued, including the illustrated article! of BclfonTf. A new clause in Mr. Blake's bill concerning the carrying of fire arms, gives the right of sebrch of bosses where information was laid tnaf more than one firearm was kept, and that they would be for feited unless the owner could show that they were not intended to be carried within the district. There seems to be a disposition or. the part of some Lwle*s indi viduals in the' United States to enter into the.-.pirate business in the event of hostilities breaking cut between- Britain and .Russia. But it is to be. remembered -that under, the Treaty of Washington, the United States government is bound to repress all privateering from its porta. The war that has been so long delayed may_ very possibly not ccme after all. Indeed, the latest able meeting. intelligence point3 rather to a peaceful settlement! of the difficulty, though after the lengthened period of ses-iiaw between; diverse proba bilities it is sot possible, to speca- lute-v.ith any measure of certainty os the issue till some'defmitesteps b& taken and speculation be alto gether superseded by.'fact. A pnblic meeting was hold in D- Hill's Hall, at jJallmafml, on tho evening p( Tuosd.iy, tho' 7th inst., 'to dihoyss tho " NationiU Policy.1' Tho meeting wus oalled undv^r tho auspices "of the PomtivionLongue, but a cordial iuvittion was ox- tendoil to thoso holding opposite views to nilrfi-css the mooting. 'MivD. Iloiulerson, of Acton, was appointed lehnirm.ui. Hisa duties, howover, beyond calling on the diil!Ctit spcakeiti,' wcro very light, as Drtllinsfad iimintainod iusual reputation-for good order, the iiudienco apparently being imioh iiitorestiHl in the subjoct under dis- ciiax^on. - ; Mr. Thos.. Goldio, of Guolph, was tirst called upon. = IIIo doalt more particularly with tho subject with which he would bo supposed to.bo most ftrmliftr, RtlTdncing con vinoing nrgutneu^s in favor of re taining our homo market, for our own produce, and showing that with a mo.dorAte protection for thu farmer and minor, trade would bo fostered between Ontario and tho Lower Provinces mutually advan- (ngeous, at the samo timo giving large employment to the carrying trade, aa, in every case whon a full cargo can be obUinod -both wajB, freights are nndoubtodly lorer. Mr. Mallny, of Erin, followod in a speech of forty minutes, in which he endeavored to show that tho ad vocates of the national policvwere insincere, instancing some of the -recent votes in the House at Otta wa on motions for protection to grain, coal, etc, pnt forward by supporters of tho Hon. Mr. Mac kenzie, for the purpose of throwing cold water on the subject. Instead, however, of showing an instance of want of sincerity on the part of the advocates of the National Policy, he' only succeeded in illustrating a lack- of candidneaa'on the .part of his own friends. Mr. A. W. Wright, of Toronto, followed .with the speech of tho 4-evening, and completely laid out the champion Free Trader of Erin, who, while enjoying tho advantages of a 17 J per cent, tariff in his own particular lino of business, almost bursts with alarm at the prospoct of the agriculturalist, who buys his plows, getting' even a very mod erate protection;^ Mr.. Wright, who was .well posted on his subject, spoke for about one: hour and a half," and wa listened, to with wrapt attention. Ho combatted fully-such arguments as protection and high prices to the container being synonymous,and, by statistics, showed thata well-regulated protec tion system and certain prosperity unavoidably go together. A vote of thanks to tbocbair, on motion of Mr! Wright, seconded by - W. C. Beatty, Esq., and put by Mr. Milloy, brought to a close a pleasant, and/no doubt, a profit- CoH.
