"The report which had gained cur- vency lately, relative to the appoint. ment of the Hon. William Pierce Howland to the office of Lieutenant. Governor of Ontario, turns out to be corgect. That gentleman was yesterday sworn in at the Assembly 'Chamber of the Parliament buildings in 'Toronto. And, as the result of 'blasted hopes and blighted ambition, tle organs are now busily engaged da belching forth their disapproval of the appointment. Foremost in the rank and severest in censure is the Toronto Daily Telegraph. Tt says :-- * Never in the recollection of living men, has any appointment been made 'So nuacceptable to the great majority «of the people directly interested. The ipremier of the Dominion has, doubt. * 'less for good and wise reasons of his own, resolved to force on Ontario a Lieatenant-Governor, whom no party sig disposed fo accept, and who, if the "question of selection had been remit- ted to the people, would probably have received less votes than any other possible candidate. It is almost ul to inquire into this state of public feeling: its simple existence should have been sufficient to prevent 'the appointment being made. There is nothing political in the objection to the selection: it is a feeling that pervades iu an equal degree all class. es and parties, and it springs from a «conviction of the incongruity of the «choice. Tn a word, it is felt that Mr. Howland is wot the man for the post. He is respected as a private citizen; the stands high as a merchant, and he is able'to pass muster as a politician --~for almost anything below a gover. norship, But lere the line 18 drawn. Here the publiic enters an emphatic Protest." We need scarcely remark that the above language, emanatiog from this ssougce, is injudicicus and very nun- «called for.--No.one commended Mr. Howland so highly for his conduct @especting Confederation than the weople of the Telegraph ; and, if he ibad declined the office referred to, he #till would hold a high place in the estimation of these journalists; bat because his acceptance has deprived John Sandfield Macdonald of the "sweets" connected therewith, Mr. Howléind is neither a gentleman or a scholar, aud totally nnfit for the of- fice. Of the appointed and disap- pointed gentlemen referred to, how- ewer, to use a quaint expression, "here isn't a pin to choose," Po- ditieally speaking, they are both in the same bed, and if Mr. Howland is not the best man to fill the place, he is at all events as good as his fellow. The 84th Battalion.-- We find the fol- lowing promotions having, reference to the 34th Battalion, in the official Gazelte of Saturday last :--No. 4 Company, Whitby--To be Lieutenant, Ensign James Young, vice O'Dono- van, promoted ; to be Ensign (tem-| pogary), George Gordon, M. 8., vice Young, promoted. 'No. 5 Company, Prince Albert-- - Tobe: Lientenant, (temporary), En- sign Walter Pound, M, 8, vice L. C, Clarke, left the limits. No. 7 Company, Uxbridge--To be Lieutenant (temporary), Ensign Jas. Anderson, M. &., vice S. Cowan, left the limits, 7 NC The Nova-Sealian Ropealers.--Thie To- vonto Daily Telegraph learns by des- patches received on Tuesday last, that the " anti" delegates from Nova Scotia to Englaad have returned home. They were warmly received by friends; and no small amount and treason was the re- ception, Dr. Tupper, on bebalf of the govern. retarned by the same steamer, is stated that some of the Rumors. ? * The following are going the rounds of the ministerial press in Ontario:-- ** Speculation is rife with regard to the vacant judgeships. The Chief usticeship, it is said, is still within reach of the Chancellor, if he will accept it; and unlikely as many may suppose such a thing would be to bappen, there are not wanting those who strongly aver that it is a ques- tion whether Mr, Edward Blake would not in the event of this trans-- fer taking place, sncceed to the Chancellorship. Vice Chancellor Mow- at does not at all like the prospect of Mr. Blake being placed above him, and his friends state very positively, that, if such a thing were to happen, he would resign his seat on the bench, and go back to politics, by way of proving to the world that be is not the man to be trifled with." ---------- - The Silver Question.--The following is the conclusion at which the business men of Whitby arrived, in reference to the silver question, at a meoting held in the Royal, on the 17th inet.: That foreign silver shall be taken at the rate of four per cent discount on all amounts of twenty-five cents and upwards, and that one cent be deducted off all amounts under twen- ty-five cents, except five cent pieces whick. shall be taken at par where offered singly in payment. Deputa- tions were appointed to visit Osha- wa, Bowmanville, and the several villages in the county, and to report at a future meeting to be held on Friday evening, July 17th, at the Royal Hotel, * ee The Marsh Harvester.--Messrs. Paxton, Tate & Cu are pushing their works fo the utmost capacity to meet the demand for these invaluable labor- saving machines. They are being sent from the shop at the rate of from four to ten a day, and are going to all parts of the Dominion. So far as heard from, the accounts are very encouraging, and there is no doubt of its being by the end of the season the favorite of the Dominion. The Company are about adding large ad- ditions to their present establishment in order to meet the demand for next year, : AE IA The Annual Excursion and Pic-Nie.-- The anonal excursion from Port Perry to Lindsay, per steamer Anglo-Saxon, on Saturday last, wes quite a suc- cess. Between one and two hundred participated in the enjoyment, and all were well pleased with the arrange- ments. We were not present, and are therefore unable to furnish the particulars. The Railway By-Law.-- This instrument, with the proceedings of the Council, may be found in other colmmnns of to. day's issue. We bespenk for it a careful perusal, in the hope, after cousideting the matter in-at ita bear- ings that many who have hitherto op: posed the movement will bury their prejudices and vote for its adoption. The English Church, Port Perry.~We are pleased te.hear that the building committee of the English' Church of this Town have concluded a contract with Messrs, H.

(See Dr. Brathwaite's advertisement.) Reach Council. The above Council met at the Town Hall, Manchester, on the 21st inst. 1 : Members all present. Reeve in the chair, The seuling i the minutes was dispensed with. The Reeve! stated ihe object in calling the special meeting was prin: ng in a to dispose of the Railway By-law--which he thought it might be as well to do now as Xt aay other time; He said he had re- ceived a copy of the By-law which the Toronto and Nipissing Railway Company wished to be approved of, which he read to the Council, togeth- er with a letter in reference to the same. He had replied to said By-law and letter--saying he felt it his duty not to comply with the request there- in contained. He had received a note from the Receiver General's of-~ | fice stating that the amount of Reserve fund coming to this munici- pality this year is $591.50, The clerk read a communication from the township clerk of Cartwright stating that the sum of $50 had been appropriated on the boundary line between Reach and Cartwright. Also. a from John Brown in refer- letter till a survey is mada under the Buthebity of the Commissioner of Crown y : Mr. Gordon moved that the lerk the Treasurer, in or the sum of for 87.75, and $71.00--which amounts are certified as for sheep de- = * |stroyed by dogs--and that they be '| tre of attraction, charged to the dog fund. Carried. Mr. Steel moved That the By-law and notice of the Directors of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway Company read at this board this day, be disposed of by taking no further action in reference to them. Carried, Mr. Bigelow laid before the Coun- cil a copy of a By-law, to enable the is approved of, having, as it would, a road running from the south-east to the south-west of its boundary. The By-law was, on motion of Mr, Gordon, introduced and read a first, second and third time, pussed and signed by the Reeve. Mr. Steel presented 'the petition of Thos. Paxton aud others, praying that the funeral expenses of Nuthun Bradley, an indigent person, who died in Port Perry, last winter, be paid. Mr. Nott, who was allowed to ex- plain matters, said he was called upon to furnish coffin and hearge.-- His bill amonntsto $11. Mr. Sinclair claims the balance, On motion of Mr. Gordon the above petition was laid upon the table till next meeting of Council. The clerk said he had expended $1 90 in fixing the Town "Hall gate and fence; and on metion of Mr. Gordon, said amount was ordered to paid. Mr. Bigelow laid before the Coun- cil the By-law of the Whitby and Port Perry Ruilway Company. He said it' had been prepared with a good deal of care, aud in order to serve the interests of all purtizs, He hoped it would? be passed, as the Reeve of Scott had told him the mun. icipality over which he presides will do something towards its con- struction, and he had no doubt Ux- bridge would do likewise. The in- terests of the whole county would be served and Reach would be the cen- He boped it would be passed as submitted, because it bud been carefully prepared with a view to carrying the road to comple tion. Mr, Gordon moved for leave to introduce the By-law, granitng a bo nus of $40,000 to the Whitby and Port Perry Railway Cumpuny.-- Leave granted. By-law introduced, and read a first time, when the Council resolved itscIf into committee of the whole thereon. =Mr. St. John iu the chair. Mr. Wright moved the adoption of the first clause because he thought it would be a constant sonrce of annoy- ance if not disposed of, and the soon- er it was left 10 the people for their approval the better. Another reason was, at the last election he and Mr. Gordon said it the Council were re- quested by a respectable petition to do so he would vote for it. The first clause was then adopted. Mr. Wright moved the adoption of the second clause, saying he thougnt the interests of the Township were fully protected. Of course the $10 000 named for that purpose would not be asked for unless the branch is built, Mr. Gordon said there were parts of it which he could approve of, but other parts he could not without fur ther explanation. He wus willing, however, as was stated by the Reeve, to pass a By law, if the interests of all could be served, but he objected to the range of the route and the puy- ment of the last insta'ment on the branch, He said there was nothing obligatory upon the company to build the branch, so that they could build a straight road from Port Perry to Whitby and let the branch alone, Tt is said in the preamble that the road will benefit the whole Township, but a road by running across the south- east corner of the Towuship would only serve the interests of a few. He was not prejudiced to one locality more than another; and he would have no objection to the clause if it were made obligatory to buiid the branch. Mr. Wright differed with Mr. Gor- don, and said he thought they had the best guarantee possible that the branch would be built, because it was holding out the olive branch to Uxbridge and Scott. He had positive assurances from Scott that if steps were taken to build a branch to Ux- bridge, aid would be forthcoming from that quarter, Mr. Bigelow said they could not give a guarantee to build the branch because they had no authority to do 80. All the people interested are determined, if possible, ti carry on the branch, and he did not think the Toronto and Nippissing people would be able to defeat it. MriGordon was right in asking a further guarantee; ut the Company were unable to give t. a it, Mr. Gordon said the remarks which had just fallen from the gentlemen who had spoken tended to convince iim that the branch would not be 'built, According to them, there is no guarautee of that, because they have uo authority to do so. The Toronto and Nipissing Company was feared before, and there is no doubt that they will now do their utmost to defeat it. He contended for having the terests of the centre and west of the town- ship protected.-. Looked upon the scheme at present as a one-sided uffuir, and in doing so did not think he was taking a narrow view of it. The branch was merely a screen, to draw the wuol over jeople's eyes, for when the muney is got upon the main line, it would be said the anthor- ity for building the brauch could not be secured, > Mr. St, John said ho was satisfied; from the shape in which the branch now; but he n ference in di It could not b would invest longer than. village of P. contribute, in share of the To as the whole town are not to have the plan may then scheme, he considered, is, as fuir us uny ever offored, yee willing to a Oi that the $10,000 portioned to the Port proportion to the amount they paid towards the railway. there he might think of it as they do, but us he and the people of the west have to with Mr, Paxton, directly benefitted, he would have to argue from a different stand point.

Ne nv he AA ut the same time Spuisied to Gen. of cil Subsidizing Fenianism, The Buffalo Commerzial Advertiser of the 16th has the following remarks apon the late proceedings of - the Common Council of that city, in giv: ing uid and encouragement to the Fenians: -- "We find the following in the official report of the doings of the Oommon Conneil on Monday :-- "Ald McPherson, by unanimous consent, offered the following : $* That the newspaper called the Fenian Volunteer, published in this city, be authorized to publish a syn- opsis of the proceedings of the com- mon Council, and shall receive .com. pensation therefor at the rate of 81,200 per year. Ayes 12; noes 5." " Those who are familiar with the reckless partisanship of the Demo- cratic party, will have no trouble in understanding the fall intent and meaning of the above action. It is not only a barefaced fraud upon the tax payers of the city, but itinvolves deliberate insult to. our. Canadian neighbors and to Great Britain -- and all for the pitifal purpose of propitia- ting and subsidizing the Feman vote in the coming election The Volun. teer is in nu'sense a newspaper, ca- pavle by its circulation of conveying local information of the doings of vur Common Council to any considerable number of the tax-paying citizens. It is the organ of an association which is avowedly seeking to violate, the laws of the country, and which threatens the peace und property of our neighbors, The pretense of pay ing it $1200 a year to publish a syn- opsis of the Council proceedings is the baldest subterfuge imaginable. Practically, it is a municipal contri- bution to sustain Fenianism, but really it is a subsidy to Irish Demo- crats. The Council might just as well have appropriated $1200 to boy arms for the Fenians, as to have passed this resolution. Considered with reference to the municipal re- cognition of Fenianism which it amounts to, and the liostile feelings towards a neighboring province which it indicates, the resolution is an outrage upon our citizens. Wo hope that the Mayor will have a suf- ficient sense of propriety, and enough independence 10 veto it." Commercial Convention. Arrangements are at present being made by the leading business men of New Eugland for a commercial con- ventiim to be held in Portland on August 4th und three following days, Circulars have been issued contain ing the following extensive pro- gramme of measures to be brought up for discussion: 1st.

Many of the Eastern States are anxious tor some such arrangement, und it is therefore likely that the matter wll be st ongly pressed upon ths convention. Can- udiuns will have a voice in the pro= ceedings should they desire it, invi- tations having been issued to the leading Boards of Trade of the Do- minion. United States News.

Albion says the re-arrangement of the north- eastern boundary line of the United tales is now receiving attention, and suggests the purchuse by the Dominion of the North-East corner of the State of Maine, a portion of the territory formerly belonging to Cunada iv out of which she was cheated by Duniel Webster, Our contemporary states that the land could probably be bought for $500,- 000, and that rnuning the Intercolon ial Railway Railway across it would enable us to save $10,000,000, which must be spent on the Northern Route, A ContineNtAL CoNaress.--At the present moment there are assembled at Vienna representatives of every Government in Europe, except that of the Pope, to devise the best mode of improving the telegraphic com- munication among the civilized na~ tions of the world.

A New Frac.--Our eastern ex- changes are very clamorous just now about a new flag for the Dominion. Tue Toronto Telegraph exptesses our sentiments in the following terms : '" A flag floats over us to-day that is our pride and glory, and that was the pride and glory of oar fathers in centuries gone by. We want no other. The old Union Jack is the ouly banner the people of this Do- minion desire to see above them. If, however, for purposes of trade, any addition should be required Iét the design be prepared under authority; be properly adopted, and its use sanctioned. No private individual has a right to say that this or. that pshull-be-udded, and our eastern con- temporaries are therefore only wast- ing time in discussion."

Tn ten minutes the whole building was in flames, and in' less than thirty minutes from the discovery of the fire the mill was in ashes. The fire engine wus very early on the ground, masse 10 assist, By very great ex- ertions the fire was prevented from spreading to the lumber. Several piles were on fire, but only about 40,000 feet was burnt. A large boarding house and another dwelling occupied by the foreman, also' the praperty of McDougall & Co., was burned, The direct loss is estimated at $30.000--88,000 of which is cov- ered by insurance in the Commercial Union "Assurance Co. The indirect loss through their inability to meet, contracts, &e., will considerably ex- ceed the direct loss. Itis believed that McDougall & Co., will at once commence preparations to rebuild their mill. It is supposed the fire originated from a kilo which was used to burn up sfrips and slabs. hands visited Navy Island in a smal boat on Sunday last, and "being in- | toxicated on their return, were drawn into the current and carried over the Boraray aT Osawa, --The Osha- wa Mill, belonging to Messrs.
