There remal#only, it scem@la stat number of points of detaild¢o retouch, and this business will be entrusted to some of the delegates, in order that the others may, without inconvenience, leave London. It is quite right that they should take seme holidays, for they have labored. arduously, if we may judge from the number and the duration cf the sittings of the Con- ference. I believe that two or three of the Canadian ministers propose to go as far as Rome. This is a jour ney which now, thanks to steam, can be made very rapidly. There will not be wanting people who will attribute extraordinary motives to the journey of Mr. Cartier to Rome, in case the Attorney-General for Lower Canada shall really visit the . eternal city. I have already met those who say that Mr. Cartier is going to Rome, to give explanations on the project of dividing the Parish of Montreal; others add that the qnestion of education is also & mo- tive for Lis journey. For my part I do not believe anything of the kind, and am persuaded that, if Mr, Cartier makes a journey to Rome, he will do so without any political motive." he JMinexre, Jtlod - nat HAVE ech resumed by ie. The trath is, that the princ ples [of the scheme] have been adopted, but there remains a crowd of little details, to which too much attention cannot be given." From these statements it would appear that the cable despateh of the 81st December conveyed an im- pression in advance of the truth. There are, it scems," a number of details----and it is of details that the whole echeme is made up--which still remain to be discussed by the delegates. -- a THE SNOW STORM 1x TORONTO. Toronto, and Canada generally, was yesterday visited by oue-of the severest snow storms that has been seen for years. The city itself was one huge snow drift, and from an carly hour industrious citizens plied the shovel with vigour. Along our principal streetw'the snow drifts gave occupation during the forenoon to crowds; but before them,by 8 o'clock, the huge snow plow of the Street Railway Company had succeeded in clearing a track along Young street to Yorkville, and Queen street to the Asylum. . A gang of men accompan- ied these levelling the snow on each side of the road as they proceeded, in order to delay the feeling that hus sprung from their action in former years, But the proprietors of the different shops along the line, though thus taken somewhat aback by the carly actipn of the company, were not to be beaten, and by nine o'clock the refuse snow which, until now, made huge banks in "front of their stores was quickly shovelled by the slore-keepers into the centre of the street, where the snow plough had bat a mement before raster Oue or two cars had previously managed to make thicir way from Yorkville to the city, and one had gone to ind returned from the Asylam before the sanguinary conflict began; but this ouly reached the corner of Queen ; nd Yonge streets on its return "when the popular ire reached its cal- uminating point, and a determined crowd, arined with shovels, spades brooms and ' every conceivable' in- strument in the hardware merchant's list, capable of moving the snow, f cred in front of the offending ' carand i willing Tauds piled fhe of yj Towaslip, th t, if he can help Souncil, to. solution passed by no Ae proashing it, Campbell will po, longer bold his| EE Tlie was covered almost fo the windows| S08. © LL Lc Sou Belieeers Repent | 'and the horses half buried in' the| , BOC ria the attention of the snow.

It is possible in this instance that the company meant to level the snow in front of the stores on either side of their track, as they proceeded. In fuet, it is alleged that they had'a gaug of 'men ready for that purpose; but the occupants on these streets have so often been, as they represent, -ill-used, that they haye lost all confidence in the pro- testations of the railway managers.

PORT PERRY, JAN. 24, 1861. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF JOSHUA WRIGHT. The private actions of men in their private capacity, are not fair sub- jects for comment in a public news- paper; but when individuals, in their public capacity, so far forget them. selves, that, tp revenge fanciel wrongs, au injustice fs attempted to be done a whole township, it is full time the press spoke out boldly"&nd with words of no doubtful import. The last Municipal Election in Reach, our readers are aware, was warmly contested; and during the active canvass preceeding the elec- tion many things were. said which would have been better unsaid. The electors who attended the D 3 or the meeting a list of unsatisfied exe- cations against Mr. Campbell, one of the'candidates for Deputy-Reeve. Mr. Wright's conduct on that occasion was justly characterized as outrage- ous, and if ever a man was shown up in his tre colors he was then, Mr. Wright that night lost many friends, and we may date his utter deféat at the - polls to the line of conduct then and there! pursued by that gentleman. With a long list of jugdments against Mr. Camp- bell, flamingly paraded by Wright and his friends, the clectors of Reach still expressed, most' forcibly, their fid: in Mr. Campbell. That gentleman may be poor and unforfu- nate, by acts of kinduess done for his friends, still the people believe him to be bonest, and. therefore placed him at the head of 'the poll.-- While the people were thus expressing themselves for Campbell, they left Wright at home, ; After this verdict on the part of the people, an attempt is made by Mr. Wright to anseat Mr, Campbell. By some meaps Wright has induced a person to isswe an execution against Mr. Campbell, whieh, through some hocus "pocus proceed. ing, was speedily returned by the Sheriff nulla bona; and last: Monday, Mr. Wright in. the Council chamber of Reach personally served a notice on the Reeve, requesting Mr. Camp- bell to quit, We will not now stop to enquire who is" Plaintiff in the execution . mentioned--who issued the writ--whe; authorized it to be issued --or how the Sheriff displayed more than uswal activity in making the return?'
