A large gathering of Catholics from various parts of the' Province took place en Tuesday last, in the St. Lawrence Hall, Toronto, As many as two hundred and fifty dele- gates, it is said, were present.

Resolved; --That at the great Reform Convention of seven hundred 'delegates from all sections of Upper Canada, beld in the city of Toronto on the 38th and 39th of June last past, the foliowing resolution was unanimously adopted: -- "Resolved, ~That one of the funda: mental principles of the Reform party now as ewer, is--the total separation of Chureh and State, the support of the clergy of all d inations b, the free contributions of their people, and the recognition by the Legisla- ture and Government of all Canadians as subjects of the Queen, and not in _ any Ffarian capacity: The Conven- tion" lichftily rejoices that the new Constitution sweeps away from the Federal arcna every question of a #ectional and sectarian character, and Tec its earnest, conviction that on the fdelity with which this vital safeguard is respected in the practi- 1 administration of the)Government, | ¥csts the future harmony and sta- bilitytof the Dominion; And it joy- Ally sesoguizes that by the trans. ~ frence te the Legislature of Ontario ata local matters--the Protestant wlectors of Upper Canada will have he SBporiunity of showing to their Re Batholie fellow-subjects that 'ebnsideration which a ght ever to receive in all at the. hands of a ting majority." tion having duly ex ion of tion of the aaid and acee, therein vo! in 'working dut the | ne as hardly wespeotfal to Catholics, to give a fair trial to the present government, and by no means to commit the error of sewer-- ing themselves. in politics frog their brethren of the Lower Provinces.-- * To be brief," says his Lordship, " 1 " would advige the Catholic electors 'to vote for thescandidates whom " they consider conscientiously to " be the best 'men to further the "* general intérests of the country." A committee appointed for the purpose of considering the propriety of form- ing an organization, reported in fa vor of the step 'and recommended that it be called the " Ontario Elec toral Association," with Frank Smith, Esq., of London, for President; John Shea and James Stock, Esqgs., of Toronto, Vide-Presidents ; Wm. Hulley, and C. V. Warmoll, Esgs., of Toronto, Secretaries ; and Mr. J, Macdonell, of Toronto, : Treasurer. The report of the Committe was adopted by the meeting. The Vroomanton Pic-Nie. The annual Pig:Nic at Vroomanton, in connection with the Catholic Church of that: place, came off on Wednesday, the 10th inst., and like all which have preceded it, under the same auspices, was a great success. There were large numbers present from all parts of the riding, and by one o'clock over elevea handred tickets had been disposed of. The edibles, comprising' almost all the good things imaginable in abuadance, were suppliid on tables in an enclo- sure neatly decorated with ever- greens, and were heartily partaken of by hundreds of those in attendance. The afternoon was spent in a variety of ways. Some patronized the swing: ing 'institutions, some engaged in dancing, and" some visited the curi- osity show, while large numbers attended the games and races. The three local.candidates for Parlia- mentary honors in the riding, were present, and they employed their considerable © disappointment was felt at Mr. Cameron's absence, who was expected to address the assem- blage. However, all seemed to enjoy themselves amazingly, and all passed off satisfactorily, The Uxbridge and Cannington Bands were present, and enlivened the whole proecedings with appropriate musie, We did not learn how the proceeds are to be applied ; but the thanks of the community aré due to Father Braire for his kindness, and for the fe a Should be-Done at Once. We are somewbat surprised that thus far there hae been ne action taken by the municipalities towards forming the Township branches of the Reform Association. It is highly necessary, in our opinion, that this should be done at once. The Vice Presidents ought to call a meeting in every Township,to com- ply with the intentions of thc Asso ciation, and get to work. Thus far nothing has been done,except by the candidates, since. the last meeting at Thompson's Hotel; and if the party is desirous of success, exertions must be made to secure it. The voters' lists should be in posses sion of the Committees by Saturday night, and each:Bchool Section be canvassed without delay. The writs may be issued at any moment, and the contest npon ns before we are prepared for it. Let there be imme- diate and 'united action at once.

After deliberation, the committees brought in their reports, which, after discussion, were adopted, with cer- tain amendments. We notice, with pleasure, that a nuwber of prizes will, this year, be offered for thorough-bred cattle, On motion: of Mr. Sharrard, the prize list, as revised, was adopted.

Mr. Graham moved, seconded by Mr. Christie, That the above reso- lution be amended so as to read, That only bulls of one year old and up- wards be tied while' on exhibition. The amendment was lost and the motion carried, On motion of Mr. Harriss, the Tth role was amended by adding the following clause:--All articles for exhibition, excepting live stock, must be on the ground not later than 10 o'clock on the first day of the show; and all live stock must be on the ground by 9 o'clock on the second day of the show.

Such was the ori of the constant, and at times very warm, differences which arose be n the two. Bo i Maximilian received his gducation at Vienna, then, and now, one of the gayest and most dissolulte capitals of Europe. He did not, however, indulge in the frivolities 80 ¢ommon to the nobility of Austria, bns ap- pears to have spent a great (part of his youth in study and travel. At an carly age he entered the navy of the empire, and saw considerable service at sea, sailing abouf the Mediterranean, and visited all the adjaceat countries-- Greece, Italy, Morecco, French Algeria, Spain, and Portugal. At the age of twenty- two he was placed at the head 'of what is termed by courtesy, the Aus- trian marine, and with a squadron vigiged the coasts of Syria and Pales- tine - He went to the Red sea and took great interest in the works of the Sues Canal, which were then just beginning, In 1856 he paid a visit to Paris and spent a fortnight at St. Cloud with Louis Napoleon. The year following be was appointed Viceroy of Lombardy and. Venice, and, in the exercise of the powers attached to the position, soen made himself quite a favorite among the Italians. This popularity was, how- ever, displeasing to Francis Joseph, and in 1859 he was removed. --He is said to have exhibited great courage and decided administrative abilities while Viceroy, It is related that he used to walk about the streets of Milan, and Venice quite alone and during the fetes and among the crowd, and would never allow the police to be on the watch. One day at Venice, when the Italian nobles bad plotted to make a hostile demon- stration against him on the Plaza St. Marco, he discomfited and quite converted them to his side by tuck- ing his wife under his arm and com- ing among them unattended, and on foot, with a courage and frankness rhat disarmed every ome, Another time, just after Orsini's attempt at Paris, bis life was said to be also threatened, and his frignds begged Lim not to expose himself; bat he immediately ordered his carriage to go up to the theatre, taking with him Count.

Nearly a year was occupicd in this work, and it was aot antil the 10th of April, 1864, that he formally accepted the. proffered crown." By the terms of the acceptance he made a conditional renunciation of the right of eventual succession to the thronz of Austria, ahd an unconditional renunciation of his share of the family estates, amonnting to 20,000 of florins. The condition reserved in the renuncia- tion of the right to .the succession was that such renunciation"might be revoked, should Maximilian, finding his foothold in Mexico insecure, choose to resign within gix years from the date of his aogeptance of the crown of Mexico. res] The career of Maximilian: as the so-callled Emperor of Mexico is well known to the people of this: country. His first official act wasto offer teres to Juarez looking to the submission of the latter- These were refected, and then followed the past year of wat and bloodshed, with 'alternate snccess, and the present final defeat of the Imperialists. His efforts to attract emigration and to develop the resources of the country, are well known, as are also his perdonal sacri fices fox the success of his cause. That he failed was sulg, a natura) and expéoted result." But it is doubted if he would haye.met the terrible fate to which Juarez assigned him, had he not issned his famous order declaring' the Repablican Pre- bility of his Soh f be Shen Napoleon, who first him accept the a Jans esutted Jin. 1 giaanally, aximilian he reputation being a most te man and scholar.

The' "Fegponei- it abounds 'in mineral wealth, in valuable timber and water power; these nseless to their owner. He is poor in the midst of his riches. Under such circumstances, what is be to do. On the one hand, he sees fortune within his reach, if he had the power to secure it; on the other, he dreads the dangers, entanglements and bar- dens of debt, if he mortgage Lis ples rity to the monocy lenders. This expedient he must; however, have recourse to; and with knowledge and _ | sound judgement to guide him, and by the exercise of industry, energy and economy, he probably gains- his object and becomes a millionaire. The people of thie country are exactly in the situation we have described; they are the owmers of a splendid estate, but they lack the capital to render it productive, We are too much influenced by - Earopean precedent and example, which we misapply because the circumstances are not the same in both cases. Buo- rope is old, and this continent is young. There, in the more advanced communities, every foot. of ground is more or less in use and occupaticn und has been for centuries; cultiva- tion and construction have been going on, gemeration after genera- tion, till now there. is" comparitively little room for profitable outlay, Here money expended in improve- ment converts the wildernes into a garden, and the savage forest into reen fields, villages, towns and cities, as if raised by the wand of an enchanter. We have therefore, as; we said, to deal with a different or- der of things, from those whieh ex- ist in the old world, and the results are aloo different. In Europe, they must generally be contented with slight profits, while every dollar. wisely laid out here is increased ten, twenty, a hundred fold, whether the benefits derived de direct or indirect. The distinction in that respect is ap- parent in many ways. For instance, we appear sometimes to earry bur- dens here, whieh would be evnsidered ruinous on the other side of the At- lantic It may happen that in a small village in Canada or the United States, the local imposts may amount to 10s or 158 in the pound; but in a few years this village grows into a considerable town, aud taxation per head dwindles down to a smal! amount, while property has increased immensely in value, so the seeming extravagance is an act of sagacious expenditure. Such events only occur in Europe, and that rayely, in the vicinity of great .citics; bere they occur daily, throughout the whole con- tinent. The fature policy of the Dominion in this respect is, in our opinion, evident : 7em quocungue modo rem --money, money, at any reason: able sacrifice, ought to be the motto of our statesmen. The course fol- lowed by a gentleman who died in this neighborhood a few years ago, after a tong residence amongst us, affords them an example to follow. He procured:a large .sum of money in England at low rate of interest, and by simply. faying it-out bere in rofitablé ine ta, he I ted great wealth: What wae done 1{by an individual with such easy and {certain success, may equal {fected by the stato. The prockss in ly be ef-, both cases ia'the same. 1t must not be'supposed that we wish to see the.country involved, in liabilities beyond its capacity to bear and to meet. But that js the problem which demands solution. The New Dominion must march in the track of improvement and progress. Besides the Intercolonial Railways, for which the money has been provided, we have to enlarge the'St. Lawrence Canals, und to construct several others, ns well as roads and railroads throughout the whole country; nor must our military defences be neg- glected. The ordinary revenue can- not accomplish all this, and much more that cannot be" ignored or evaded, For one item, next to the Totercolonial Railway, the Bay Verte' canal is an undertaking consequent upon Confederation, and which is so indispensable to the trade between the Western and Eastern Provinces, that its construstion will not admit of long delay, if we do not desire to' see the Americans in possession of the markets of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and all the exports of these countries seeking another des- tination than the St. Lawrence. Surely then, we are right in saying that our first and most erying want is capital; and the Finance minister who manages fo get it for us with- out injury to the credit and charac ter of the Dominion, is the man for Canada. : British Columbia, FUTURE OF THE COLONY. ; From British Columbia papers just | received, it appears that a ca: rom the East, stating that negotia- tions were in progress for the sale to the United States of the British pos-: sessions on the Pacific, had. given rise to a good deal of discussion, The present position of the colony is far from satisfactory, and a change is desired; but the current feeling is red | stronger in the direction of joining the Eastern American Confederation. The British Colonist, published at Victoria, says: -- i " We believe that Confederation with the Eastern Provinces is the only course that will preserve the loyalty of this people or save the country from falling into a condition of helplessness, from whieh it may not emerge during the time of men now living » a And again: - * We asked for Confederation at a {public meeting held not many { months ago.

' ; * Whatever may be the doctrines and desires of the United States, of one thing we are satisfied, and that is that Great Britain won't dispose of British Columbia in whole or in part. To do so would be to band over the To rival power--to cast away the key- stone of that magnificent Confedera-- ted Empire which is is now attract~ ing se much attention." rr ----e. THe LiguTeNANT-GOVERNOR OF Quesgc,--Sir Narocisse Belleau, the first Governor of the Province. of Quebec, has been received by his French compatriots with great' em pressement. A band of music accom: panied him on board of the " Montre- al," on his way to Quebec; and when tha boat stopped at Three Rivers he was received by the volunteers, car- tying torches, and the Mayor pre- sented him an address. At Quebec, he was saluted with thirteon guns, and accompanied to his residence by a detachment of volunteers, and a band of music. The Corporation pre- sented him with an address, and there is general rejoicing all over Lower Canada at the advent of a new French Governor of the ancient French Colony.-- Globe.

New Orleans, July 9.--The Times of this city has a special despatch from Houston, Texas, giving a de- tailed account of the execution of Maximilian, Miramon and Mejia, None of rhe prisoners were bound or blindfolded, nor was any indignity offered to them. Maximilian, before being shat, recapitulate] the causes that brought him to Mexico, denied the authority of the court that tried and sentenced him, and hoped that his death would stop all further effu- sion of blood in Mexico. Just before 'he was ed out for execution, he call- ed the sergeant of the guard and gave him a handful of gold, and requested as a favor that the soldiers would aim at his heart. His last words were * poor Carlotta." Five balls entered his breast, but those did not kill him immediately, so fwo other soldiers and in this manner he was despatch- ed, Much dissatisfaction and grief was'manifested by those who witness ed the sad scene. Miramon read from a paper which he had written' that the only regret he feltin dying was that the Liberals d remain in power, and that they should have power to point out his children as children of a traitor. Mejia made no bravely. The sword of Maximilian was to President Juare# by Gen, Escobedo 'in- the Government palace.
