The travelling community will find it far more comfortable, and quite as advantageous to reach Lmd- |say, and all the points on the Upper lakes, by this route as any that can be chosen. Ample provision has Leen made for the comfort of passengers. Mobbed,. --The Statesman'tells us that a Barrister, named Robt. R. Los- combe, was mobbed and scared in Bowmanville, one day last week, for abusing his wife and contracting a rather strong affection for the maid of all work--Grace Burt by name--who reigned supreme i) his kitchen. Dar- ing the night he left for a distant part of the Dominion, and has not since been heard of, ' That Rhubarb.--A day or two ago we were presented with a sample of a new kind of "pie plant," called "the Victoria Rhubarb," by Mr. Hunt, which was grown by Mr, Maw, of this place, and which beats for size and quantity any rhubarb we ever saw. The stalk measured on anav- erage three inches in diameter, whilst the leaf was twenty feet in circum- ference. Mr. Maw will please accept our thanks. Boy Drowned. --A boy about seven years of age, the son of Wm. Spence- ly, was drowned, in Mr. Gould's mill Pond,at Uxbridge, on the evening of the 2nd inst. It appears he had been fishing on a log and accidentally fell in ;and, after vainly struggling to regain his footing, sank to rise no more. The body was recovered, by means of grappling irons, about half an hour afterwards, when the usnsl restorations was applied by Dr." Bol- ster, but without avail. Accident. --On Friday last, the eldest son of Mr. Joseph Shaw, hotel keeper of this place, a little fellow about six years of age, met with a serious accident. He, in company with another adventurous lad, found his way to the top of Mr. Bigelow's new block, and in trying to walk over the skylight of Mr. McKenzie's gallery broke through the--to him--treach- erous glass, and fell to the floor be- low, a distance of thirteen feet, Had he struck upon his head ne would probably have been killed, but he happened to strike upon his shoulder, causing a dislocation and fracture of the arm bone.

I have also had an in- terview with Mr. Joseph Howe, Mi. Wm. Anvand, Mr. Troop, and M-. Smith, being the deputation who were appointed by the Executive Council of Nova Scotia to visit ths country in order to explain and sap- port the representations offered against Confederation. I have tle honour to inform you that I have lad the address of the House of Assen--- bly before the Queen, and that hex faction the assurances which 'it contains of their unabated loyalty and attachment to her perssn' and Government. The Queen regrets to learn that any dissatisfactior should have been caused among her faithful subjects in Nova Scotia by the meas: ure of Confederation adopted by «the Imperial Parliament und assented to by the Crown; but her Najesty trusts that the objections which have been expressed may admit of remo- val. 'I can assure your Lordship that the subject of the address has engaged the earnest consideration of her Majesty's confidential advisers. They are well aware that the inhabi- tants of Nova Scotia have always honourable alike to the colony and to this country, of attachment to the British Crown and Government, and they are anxious to promote the con tentment of a people so justly enti- tled to consideration. But the mag- nitude of the interests at stake ren- ders it a duty not to shrink from ex- amining fully the groonds of the complaints which have been adduced, and if it snould prove that some of them arc mistaken and others re- movable Tshould indulge the hope that a different view of the subject will be ultimately taken. The lead- ing complaints appear to be reduci- ble to two : Firstly, that confedera- tion was accomplished without prop- erly consulting the Province ; and, secondly, that the results may be prejudicial to some of its special in terests. Now, as far as regards the second of these topics, Her Majesty's Gevernment feel sure that they need only draw the attention of yourself and of your Government 10 the points raised in the addiess relative to tax ation, the regulation of trade and tlie fisheries, as they aie confident that it will be equally the wish of gour Government and of the Paddiament of the Dominion to relax or modify any arrangements on those subjects which may prejudice the peculiar in- terests of Nova Scotia and of the maritine portion of the Dominion. No doubt can ve entertained that the Parliament of the Dominion will be fully alive to both the justice and the expediency of consulting all the various interests of the territory over which the jurisdiction extends. With respect to the eyidences of the opinion of the provinces, 1 observe that Nova Scotia was on several oc- casions the first of the provinces to move the project of confederation. In 1854 it was proposed in the Leg- islature of Nova Scotia. In 1857 it formed one of the topics intrusted to some delegates from the Government of Nova Scotia to her Majesty's Gov- ernment. The plan was moved in Canada in 1858, but, being subse- quently. dropped, was revived in Nova Scotia in 1861, and made the subject of a--eircular address from Nova Scotia to all the other provin- ces. In 1864 delegates were ap- pointed by the Government of Nova Scotia to attend the conference of the Quebec that framed the scheme on which the act of Confederation now in force is based. As soon as that scheme was unanimously adopted by the delegates from the several Provinces, the Sccretary of State re: marked that the project should be submitted to the Legislatures, Princé Edward Island declined, both in 1865 and 1866, and Newfoundland never adopted the proposal. But in 1866 both Houses of Legislature. in - Nova Scotia, and both Houses of the Leg- islature in New Brunswick passed resolutions (of which copies are an- ncxed to this despatcly) requesting the Governor to name delegates to arrange with the Imperial Govern- ment a scheme of union, while Cana- da had previously passed similar res- olations, of which also copies are an: nexed. Such were the proceedings 'which attested to the Government of this country, on the highest authori- ty, the wish of the Legislatures in these Provinces, 1am advised that the Act of Confederation was duly and lawfully passed in the Imperial arli Itis objected that no previous appeal was made to the people in the Provinces ; but this has not been thought necessary in par- allel cases.

The Provincial Government and Legisla- tures in the present ease, after the terms had been substantially settled. Ie | with the knowledge and approval of all, looked to the Imperial Parliament to accomplish their union. This has p3 | been done exactly in the manner re- quested ; the neighboring Province of New Brunswick has entered into the union, in reliance on haying with it the sister Province of Nova Scotia and vast obligations, political and commercial, having been already contracted on the faith of a measure 80 long discussed and so solemnly adopted. "I should do injustice to the char-/ acter which Nova Scotia has always conspicionsly borne as a faithful member of the general British com- munity if I do not add as a consider- ation sure to have weight with it, that the measure is believed by Her Majesty's Government to be not merely cortducive to the strength and welfare of the Provinces, but also im- portant to the interests of the whole I hdve already spid. that any practical regard which may be due the special position and inter ests of the province will, Her Maj- esty's Government are confident, be cheerfully given by the Parliament of the Dominion ; but after the fore going explanations I trust that the Assembly and the people of Nova Scotia will not be surprised that the Queen's Government feel that they would not be warranted in advising the reversal of a great Measure of State, attended by so many exten sive consequences already in opera- tion, and adopted with the previous sanction of every one of the Legisla- tures concerned, and with the subge- quent approval of the Legislatures ova Scotia and New Brunswick.

(From the Whitby Chronicle of the 2nd.) Yesterday, Dominion Day, was an immense day in Whitby. There was a grand review of the 34th Bat- talion. Ontario Volunteers, now at their annual drill in the town, and there was the presentation of a stand of colors by the ladies of On- tario, and there was a crowd of be- tween five and six thousand persons, embracing all that was brilliant and beautiful, and gallant and gay in the county--and many that might be praised, with equal candor, from out. side the county. But the weather was exceedingly sultry--the exces- sive heat 'being the only drawback to the general enjoyment. The ther mometer stood at 90, in thé shade air, © This, which was a terrible Arial to others, appeared, however, to be disregarded by the hardy boys of the 34th; who engaged in all the arduous evolutions of the day's re- view with an alacrity that must have appeared truly astonishing to the steaming crowd of spectators. It was about three o'clock when the parade formed, and after various movements which (perhaps for a very gond reason,) we do not under- take to describe, the battalion formed into line, and after into three sides of a square--the drums being placed in the hollow. The interesting pro- ceeding of unloosing and presenting the colors next took place. One bore the letters X X X I V--meant of course for the 34th Battalion, and surmounted by a crown. The others --the regimental--was not quite ready, and bears the motto--a fitting one for volunteers--* Ready with our lives" Both are splendidly worked in silk, and the total cost for their procurement, contributed by the generosity of the ladies, amount- ed to ipwards of $200. They were received by the senior Major and sevior Ensign of the Battalion--Ma- jor Wallace, and Ensign Anderson, of the Uxbridge Company. In mek- ing the presentation, Mrs. T. N, Gibbs, in a very distinct and audible tone, and with most correct enunci- ation, read the following ADDRESS. Lieutenant Colonel Fairbanks, Officers, Nonwcommissioned_ Officers, and Vol- unteers of 34th Battalion, of the Province of Ontario. The pleasing duty has been assign- ed me, of presenting you these beau- tifal colors, or behalf of the ladies of the County cf Outario. They are given as a trifling mark of the esteem in which the volun- teers of the county are held, as well as a faint recognition of the zeal and alacFity displayed by your Batfalion in common with their comrades in arms, in mustering for service at the front in June, 1866, and proceeding thither when the soil of this peace- ful and happy land was invaded Db; a band of lawless marangers. > It is at once the privilege and the duty of manhood to defend the soil, the homes, the altar, the throne, and the hearths of the country, it is ours to watch, and wait, and pray for those who go gallantly forth to turn away the danger from ourselves and our children--ours to send you forth with our own best wishes, and a prayer to God for your success and salety--ours to welcome you home with such hearty welcome as true soldiers who have offered their lives for their conntry ever deserve.

"5 That you may long be spared to enjoy the blessings of a free govern-- ment, under the benign rule. of bur beloved sovereign, Queen Victoria, and in honor" unfurl these flags, is the sincere prayer cf those on whose behalf I now present them to the Battalion, x Lieut.-Colonel Fairbanks in re- turning' thanks, said that the present occasion of the presentation of colors to them was not the only one on which the ladies of Ontario deserved the thanks of the volunteers. It was not the first on which the volunteers received from them the kind recogni tion of their services. When, in 1866; the volunteers left the comforts of their homes to do what was only their duty--to defend their country-- the ladies of Ontario were assiduous in providing them with home com- forts, and in every way encouraging them by acts of kindness and consid- eration. It was true that no blood was then shed by the 34th Battalion; but they were as ready to be the first in the frout as to accept the po- sition then accorded them. And he assured the ladies, on behalf of the officers and men under his command, that had the occasion afforded them the opportunity, the men of the 84th Battation would not shrink from doing their duty. He felt the great compliment paid them by the presen- tation of the colors, and he, without any vain-glory, assured them that when duty called those colors would be defended and supported mn the field without a stain by those who had the honor of receiving them. Rev. J. D'Arcy Cayley, incumbent of All Saints, Whitby, next ap- proached, and in impressive terms consecrated the colors after the usual formula prescribed by the Church of England. Three cheers were given, the band struck np God save the Queen, and the interesting ceremony of trooping the colors was conclud- ed, After this the Battalion was put through various evolutions, marched past, wheeled open column, marched past double quick, &c. Col, Fairbanks commanded. The other Field officers being Major Wallace, Major Foreman, Captain and Adjutant Jones. Major Warren the junior major of the Battalion, was, we regret to write, unable to attend in consequence of the severe injuries he recently received. Every- thing passed off without accident, and, in a crowd of more than six thousand persons, we never saw bet- ter order preserved. x A grand military promenade cbn- cert took place in the large drill shed in the evening,and we can only say that it gave great pleasure aud delighted all who attended it, United States News.

The state- ment in question is to the following effect, viz:-- " Every Irishman here in Washing: ton only knows too well,.to his sor- row and humiliation, the brazen as- sumption of O'Neill, and the capital he endeavored to make out of the Ridgeway affair. He came here and started the claim business, but was not long in operation before he was suspended by the War and Treasury Departments for presenting before them unjust and dishonest claims, and his ndme was posted up in each Department as one forbidden to transact any business with the Gov- ernment."

The deceased was abie to swim, but was observed to struggle violently as if sinking. 'Mr. Moder went to his as- sistance and endeavoured to save him, but without avail, as the deceas- ed went down in spite of all at- tempts to bring him to shore.
