A YOUTHFUI: ADVENTURE. it is not generally known that the lete Lord Brougham was a Freernaeon, and the remote He- bridean island of Lewe, or Lewis, can claim the distinction of being the place where he was en- rolled a " brother of the mystic tie. The name of Henry Brougham appears in the records of the Forlrolo Lodge of Stornowey, under the date of August 2let, 1799, when Brougham was in his 21st year. On that day he was admitted a. master mason, along with Charles Stewart (one of the Bate family), Robt. Campbell (Isle of Isiny), sud Jahn P. Stroud, (nu English gen- tleman). The most illustrious of this group was then at the Scottish bar, and the other three gentlemen had joined him in a cruise in a yacht known as the " lad Brig." The fact or their becoming Freemasons at such a time, and in so distant and obscure a place as Stornoway then appeared, must have originated in one of the wild freaks or " high jinha" then not uncommon with the choice spirits at the her and their as- sociates. It ia_a stock arecdote of the lodge that, when Brougham was initiated, he emphs. tically demurred to one of the conditions, otter- ing cogent reasons for remaining free, and com- pletely posing, by his voluhility and powers of argument, the simple-minded brethren who sought to bind him. At that time Stornoway, now grown to I considerable place, contained only some 300:-40 houses, including two or three humble inns. in whieh,however, pure Cog- nac aud genuine Scheidatn could elways be ob- tained. One of these hoetelries was kept by in person named Crichton, a rather ne looking man, but whose knowledge of the world was limited to the island of which he was a native, and whose mind must have partaken largely of the superstitions of the place and time, for he was a rm believer in the second-eight, end in every description of ghostly agency.

When his fears and wonderment were snflioient- ly excited, Brougham abruptly addressed him- Ir Crichton, these gentlemen and myself have set out on an expedition in the hrig which you see in the harbour, for the noble purpose of suc- couring damsel: in distress end of vindicming their honour.

There is yet an anxiety felt regarding the success of the conciliatory rneuures to be held out for the purpose of qnieting No- va Scotia. Immediate success was not to be expected, and the tactics at the Anti- Confedsrationisrs have been so much tinged with prejudice and hostility to Canada, that with all but superior minds, great dif- culty must be encountered in overcoming the eects of such political teaching. In point of fact, a degree of blackguardism of expmasion has been used that can only serve to cover with contempt those who have indulged in it. This blackguardiarn has crept into the Ilalilax pros, and must have served to inuence the minds of read- ers not capable of rising above the mean- ness of such a course. The columns or the lav-niag Cltrunicle have at times been open to writings of a very objectionable kind, but the chief oitnder is the Amdian R~ confer. which has the command ot a coarse, alangy, vituperative style, altogether ruf- anly in character. It was the course of this journal that called forth. Mr Howe : manly protest; but after the snubbing, so deservedly administered, it continues to apply such epithets as rascals," spies," and traitors, to members of the Execu- tive Council of the Dominion. We are glad to note, however, a decided improve- ment in the tone of other anti-unionist journals, and do not doubt the general ex- cellent eect of Mr Hows`s letter. This letter has suggested the idea that Mr Howe is quite willing to accept a seat in the Cabinet, and that under his leadership the dinatised element will be reconciled, or so broken up and weakened as to give cause for no further concern. Time will prove the justice of this surmise ; but this the Nova Sootians may count upon, perhaps to our disadvantage, that out of a duire to keep them quiet and from an anxiety to promote the harmonious working of Confederation in its beginnings, they may get almost whatlver they ask for. There is a belief in Upperxcanada that the Maritime Provinces are getting the cream of the advantages to be derived from Con- federation, but more even would be confer- red for the sale of internal quietude. We expect to hear of some favourable result of the visit of ministers; we count further upon a well disposed Parliament which will back up the administration in all its conciliatory measures, and we expect these to prove succeufnl. If they fail, or if a huckstering spirit be developed in the course of the demands of the Nova S001-`MEI. Upper Canada, and, we doubt 0`-. Lower Canada, will prefer that Nova Beotia should withdraw from the Union for a season, experience the poverty of its own isolation, pay off the debts which the Dominion has amumed, and then after a` bitter experience and conversion nd out the benets of Confederation, Thcreig 5 limit to our tolerance ; but from the indica- tions given thus far we have hopes that it will not be reached. .....,. nun uuwn LU rreezing point, while the sun, an early riser in these regions, was well up above the horizon at midnight.

This magnicent vessel is, we believe, the first of her size and costliness which has made the at- tempt to penetrate the llorda and intricate chan- nels of the Norwegian coast, and it is to be pre- sumed that the object of the voyage was com- mensurate in importance with the risk incurred. The ship left Portsmouth on the 1st of June, and arrived at Bergen on the 4th. She remain- ed there two or three days, while the paddle steamer Vivid, which was detached for duty as tender to the yacht during the cruise, conveyed the Prince of Leiningen and others of the oicers up the Hardenger ord. On resuming her voy- age the yacht proceeded to Drondhjem, calling on route at Grandsnnde and Molds. During this part of the voyage the ship kept well in shore, steaming slowly up the ords and among the innumerable islands that bound the Scandi- navian coast, and she sometimes found herself M in rather critical positions. In some places the channels were so narrow, with rocks towering some hundreds of feet above on either side, that it seemed to be almost impossible for ashlp to pass, but the yacht answered to her helm ad- mirably, and she was fortunate enough to have skilful pilots on board.
