In the case 0! the Tree: Society, it is showed from t_he last re- ports that the sslsries and expenses amount to 14,806, wh lst the expenditure for tracts, &c., `only amounvs to 13,467. This statement, it must he confessed, looks bad, but if the forms-r sum comprides all the charges on one of the largest publighing businesses in the world ; end if the prots of that business pay the whole ex- penses, and leave all free gifts to be expended in tree grunts ottrscts sud books, where would be the cause for complaint? We do not say that this is:the precise state of the case, for we have not the report It hand, but we think it proba- ble that the alleged wasteful expenditure of the Tract Society could be satisfactorily accounted for. ` For the other society, that, mainly, for the con- version of the Jews, we would not My so much. Judging from the American one of the same nstne, which Dr. Burns, of Toronto, so ably ex- posed : number of years ago, we would be re- ther inclined to expect a. huge screw loose in it.

This was done, and the Volunteers, many of whom were drenched to the skin, per. formed their evolutions, and the march past also took place.

It says that the Tribune is alone the supporter of such a proposition, and that not one English or Canadian news- paper has given it the slightest encourage- ment. The Times disbelieves the rumours about the feeling in this country, and de- clues that there is no evidence to sustain the assertion that annexation tendencies are prevalent among us. Speaking of the Ca- nadian people, it says : It is enough for our present purpose that they cling to Bri- tish connection ; and that the British Gov- ernment, true to its traditions, will stand by them to the last. Whiie, then, we make up our minds to push forward the Alabama) question until we exact a settlement, we must at the outset discard as a delusion the. notion of peacefully obtaining Cannda in consideration of our outraged honour or the; damage inicted on our interests. , , , _ _ . _ _ . - . -Iv `JIIIJI tu-LII].

Among the vessels the lastnishing touch of paint is being lgiven, sails are either bent or are in progress of being so, and everywhere business is being hurried on with all expedition- Some vessels have already left port- and each day will see others following. The schooner Thermutis, left to-day for Cape Vincent to take in a cargo of iron ore for Buffa- lo. This was the first vessel out. The barque Arabia started to-day with her cargo of ice for Chicago, and the schooner Jessie Drummond, to the same destination with a similar cargo, also left this afternoon. The barque Monarch will leave this evening for Oswego to load with coal forrchicago. The tag Swan left here last night for Brockville to tow up the John Breden and Waterwitch which will take in bal- last here. The steamer Bay of Quinta will make her first trip on Thursday morning next. Sail- ors wages from this port are from $18 to $20 per month. Mr Thompson Smith, lumber mer- chant, has purchased the steamer Advance (not the Avon) for the lumber trade on_Lake Sim- coe. She will proceed to-morrow to Toronto ann thence per railway to the Lake in the same manner as was adopted with the Jones two years since. The propeller Avon has been bought by Captain Hartley, of Collingwood, for $6,000, and it is the intention to establish trade between that port and Kingston. The chooner Annie Craig left Portsmouth for Port Da-lfousie to-day. Sir, I do not address you for the purpose of giving explanations of Mr Snook's synopsis, al- though if I were so inclined, I could go through every item and paragraph `in it, pointing out their unfairness, showing where the Countyvhas endeavoured to take advantage ot" every techni- cality in the law to force me to pay them moneys which I honestly expended on their account, and with their sanction, even to the payment of Jurora for Sundays, made by the authority and under-the direction of the Judges of the land. Such is not my intention ; for synopses of Mas- ters` reports signed by opposing Attornies may be the thing in the United States, but it is to be hoped that the practice will not prevail in Cans- da, but that the principles of British fair-ploy will be permitted to have full sway. My desire is not to trouble the public with my s.El'sirs at any length, but simply to sell them and my many friends to suspend their judgment until the ter- mination of my suit and the adjustment of the matter complained of in the only way known to the Iaw-bytli`e solemn decree and judgment of that Court to which I have appealed for jus- tice. Then and not till_ then will the Commit- tee on County Property have the opportunity of considering the value of and counting the costs of Masters reports and of Attorneys synopses , made to order. 1-v - Sir--'l`he last issue of_the News contain! 5 garbled statement purporting to be a synopsis of a report of the Master in Chancery, Mr James A. Henderson, in my case against the County of Frontenac. The statement is signed" by Mr Tunis Love Snook; Solicitor, and published as it is alleged by him at the instance of the Com- mittee on County Property. The object of the Committee in giving publicity to a proceeding in the cause at this stage is evident, and done for the purpose of foreslalling public opinion! and damaging me with the honest yeomanry of the County, who have hitherto refused credence to any of the thousand and one lying "reports" put in circulation to my prejudice. M It was no doubt imagined by the Committees thata quasi oicial sanction to the Synopsis of a report veri- ed by the signature of Mr Tunis Love Snook, would have the desired effect; but sir, even this unheard-of and extraordinary proceeding so iinprofessionsl in its character, will also fail; My counsel has already taken steps to quash' the Master's report, and there can be no doubt of his success. The synopsis, I suppose, will have to go with the report, and be also quash- ed l The very rst item of Mr Snook s synop- sis, and which is in character with the whole document, seeks to make me liable for $515 96 interest moneys paid by the city of Kingston, ` when the fact is that this item is formed of dis- counts on the promissory notes of the city charged by the Bank of British North America, and actually paid by me or certied by the Bank manager; nevertheless, the County seeks to recover the full face of the notes, and thus let me pay the discounts out of my own peck- st!
