It was truly iiwful. Even the certiiiii knowledge that thore wm-o no (leudly niisHiluH in the guns did not j>ro- vuiit a cliiij feeling from crecpinij {â- ver nmny «f the civilJHn Bpecttitom. The for- eign wurships nioorrd oj)fii«ite the Ktit- iali lines joined the cannonade, and t.«> the HuperstitiouH there was frmii the deep throated «uns of the UoitiKl States, HuHsia, France, Germany, a note of de- fiance, a resonant, resolute answer, gun forging, yet all was in honor of Victoria. Then the angry roaring ceased, much to the relief t>f thousands who were stop- ping their ears, and as the jianoply of unplvKRant smoke slowly drifltd away the fleet again stood revealed in fairy lines of lightness. The signs of war were dinunin^ and disappeanng in the shadowa, the gentler side of things was again jmt to the front to inntil into the minds of departing thousands that while the dogs of war weie "ready, aye, ready," after all what the people came out to see was "the triumph of peace, the glory of the(jueeii." The illuininationK contin- ued until niidniglit, when, on a signal from the HL-etcoinuiander. every super- fluous liglit went out as if turned off by a single switch.

In order to blow ofT their surplus loyalty they Lave issued a sett of jabileo BtaiDps of dcnoiuiuatioiis running from half a cent to five dollars. However, as there was no earthly call for any- thing above a 50-cent value in stamps in this country, they are now trying to make the half and six-cent values soli the $1, $'2, $3, $4 and «!i stamps. lu plain words they refuse to supply postmasters with the half- Ccnl and 6cent stampa for ordinary business purposes, bot will sell only complete setts, costing over $16 ! This is straight evidence that the stamps were Lever issued for kusiucss use, neither were they issued from purely gushing loyalty, but only as a base speculation. The half and six-cenl values arc not on sale except in setts, to be ordered through the postmasters, and tbcsu setts arc puic lumber, for the government in coun- cil may repudiate them at any mo- ment, and tliisjwiU probably be done after the higher values have been di»poied of ; or a new adniiiiistratioii may come nUo power which will re- fuse to endorse tliis issue. It was authoritatively stated that these Btanips would not bo sold directly to the public, but only iu the ordinary way through postmasters. This ap- pears to have been but a quibble, as tiin postmasters arc instructed to book 01 tiers, when the govurnuient will suppi) them in complete set'.s only. This can scarcely be said to bo the "oidiiiaty way." Our govern- ment, in trying to force a $16 ('X- pcntlittirc upon any one wlio Wiinls to buy a Imlf-cciit niamp is playing a sliarp tric'ii which will, no duuht, be re.scnted by those mtercalid in phil- ately, and should result in the black listing of their precious paper labels of every deuuunnation above &U cents. The probable annexation of Hawaii by the United States is of interest only in that it is her firft attempt at colonization. It is ou a rather small scale, bat the islands are sufficiently largo to test her capacity for colonial extension and her power to rule at a distance from her natural borders. There are those among her own people who consider that the islands would be a miUstono about her neck. Lot 176,2nd con. N. E. T. * S. U., ftt acreB . fjood frame houuo ; 60 acren cleared. Ka&y terma.

This pro- posed railway will bo an extension of the Intcrcoloniiil to Montreal, necessi- tating the building of 48 miles, and will make a third parallel line of rail- way. The government proposed to spend a million dollars over this contract, and have been very properly culled to time by the Upix)silioii and the Henato for their extraordinary haste in consHininating the deal, and a Senate committee of investigation has been appointed. Sir Oliver Mowat, and the CJIobo call it merely an "espcrimtnlal " expenditure. The Government are making some very coiitly exporiiiionls those days, but tins caps tho cliiua:;. 8o largo a sum as it is proposed to giant for L'xporimctital purposes is an outlay that the govcrnineul have no right to make without the very fullest and clfaresk explanation possible bfing made to tho people as to its niility ; and tho extreme haste with wLicli the ijoverninent lias attempted to pass, this estimate does not {^ive in any di'!.;reo the clear nnderstaiiding to which we are entitled. There is a strong Hti3))ioion that jobberj has been piactiiMid in connection with it, niul if this bo the case it is now bound to come out. Tho days of UEefuliiess for tho Senate appear to be but bogiii- iiing. Bince the above was in typo we loam that owing to the ftcti.in of the Senate a pledge ha.s been given that no purchases would be made and nothing done to tie the hands of gov- eniineiit until next session of Parlia- nii'iit.
