#e ‘that it will be a bad day for Nove Seous, but we shall indulge in no forebodings w4evil. ‘Though none regret more. than we do the temporary rejection of the advocates of Union at the polils in Nova Scotia, we have a firm conviction that the wisdom of their course will soon,be vindicated, and the popular ingratitude atoned for. > Destso the past scummer, and in fact sitce the question of Confederation came up in detail for discussion, it has occasionally been regretted, and sometimes even by those whose optnions are entitled to great respect, that the management of the Crown Lands, in all the provintes, had not been reserved for the geneâ€" ral government. Scarcely could a regret be more ill iounded. Judging by the experiâ€" ence of the joint management of the Crown Lands ot Upper and Lower Canada during the old Union, we think we are quite safe in affirming that no department of the Governâ€" Reproaches came alike from the East and the West that due encouragement was not given to settlers, that the lands were locked up or sold to speculator«, and that the coloni® zation roads and free grants had proved lamentable failures. Sechonal â€" jealousies evernially warred against improvement in one part of the province lest «h uodue advantage might be sécured over the other, and the general discontent was made apparent a few years ago by an almost universal â€"demand, that the Crown Lands system should be enâ€" tirely changed. With respect to Mr. Howz‘s course in the Commons, we think it, too, will be found somewhat more rational than that which the Gazetle anticipares. He has succeeded to his heart‘s content in * punishing the traitors," and we hbope, and believe, that with this trinmph he will be satisfied. If not, we can ©®antis"" . does not involve a conflict be tween that Government and the Govern ment of Canals. Doubtless a period of calm reflection will succeed the heat of batâ€" tle, and the, local representatives of Nova Scotin will amply devote themselves in their own way to the administration of the affairs of the Province within the limits of the Constituâ€" tion. â€" Perhaps the Local Legislature may be foolish enough to petition the Imperial Parâ€" liament tor a repeal of the Union Act, but we question vayvtby will be guilty of even this piece Of mild and harmless folly. nelsct . Ock confrere is, we think, needlessly alarmâ€" el. The fact that the Local Government. of Nova Seotia will.be controllel by the . Thé cession, if so it may be called, of the Crown Lands of each Province to the Govâ€" ernment thereof, is nat only defencible on the commen ground which is held to discrimiâ€" nate between the duti¢s of the Local and "General Governments, but it seems a necesâ€" #ary consequence to another provi«iqn of the " We assume that the Local Government, improvised by Mr. Tupper, will be immediateâ€" ly supplanted by another composed of rabid, redâ€"hot antiâ€"Unionists. ‘The first test of our Federal systemâ€"our first u.£g~. right" conâ€" flict may, therefore, be upon us within the first six months of our existence as a Dominion. This is, in truth, an ugly prospect, to say the least of it; but, perhaps, better sooner than later that it should come."â€"Montreal Gazette, Constitution, which gives to the Local Govâ€" erument the control of " property and civil rights." _ The titles to real estate, under this provision, should certainly come trom. the Crown through the Local, and not through the General Government, otiferwise they lughh-c‘bul with conditions or sut ject to exemptions or reservations that would contlict with the general policy of the Pro. vincial Governiments. Then, again, the adâ€" ministration of the Crown Linds, though affecting generally the whole country, affects more particularly the Provinces in which they are situated, and we may reasonably asâ€" sume that self interest and Provincial amâ€" bition will inspire the people of the several Provinces to pursue that policy in .their reâ€" gard which is the most likely to encourage their speedy occupation and improvement. We understini that the Hon.

A lecture on the above subject was delivered on Thursday evening at the Hall of the Ottawa Natural History Society, by Dr.Otway. The hall was well filled by a very respectable and intelligent audience, comprising many of the scientific gentlemenof the city. On the platform were Mr.â€" Billings, the eminent paleontologist, Dr. VanCortiandt, Mr. Thorâ€" burn, Rev. D; Jones. The Rev. T. D. Phillipps, in the chair. ‘The Presidentin inâ€" troducing the lecturer, remarked that it gave him great pleasure to see Mr. Billings pregent. The lecturer said he was not a lecturer by profession, nor had hbe come here from mercenary motives, but‘to aid in the developâ€" ment of the vast mineral wealth of Canada. He had come here froma distance of fifteen hundred miles, being induced |to do, so° by hearing so much of the mineral â€" resources of the country. The accounts which had reached him were extraordinary, and yet he had been disappointed, for he had. found it much richer than even the representations he herad had led him to believe. He had exâ€" plored the mineral regions of northern and southern countries all over the world, Siberia, Russia, Java, : Samatra, South Aierica, Australia, &c., but be had never seen a counâ€" try that could compare with Canada in metalliferous ores. Here were to be found auriferous and argentiferous ores, plumbago, and others in great profusion, but capital was needed to develop it, and bring it to market. He had no hesitation in saying that the minâ€" eral wealth of Canada was suflicient to make it the greatest and richest of England‘s depenâ€" dencies. Here the lecturer went into some animadversions on the maladministration of the Government in reference to the public lands in general and the mineral lands in particular. & _ A specimen of plumbago, taken from the land of Mr. Pennock, which the lecturer deâ€" clared to be a magnificent one, was exhibited. He also spoke of the Burt claim in high terms. After treating the audience to some philosopkiâ€" cal speculations, as to the formation of metalliâ€" ferous .deposits by the agency of elictricity, the doctor gave a brief account ot the Madoc gold niines, where hesaia gold, silver, nicket, plumbago, and other metals abounded, and said the works in that region would pay heavily if capital were brought to bear as it should bes~ The Tudor ores were described as being comparatively rich in silver. ‘The doctor said much of the capital used in the mines that ln.tre- opened came from the: United States, already swindlers were in the busiâ€" ness. . Adventurers would take a few grains of gold from the surface, exhibit them, publish a book giving the mines fine names, and sell stock which was worthless, He advocated the establishment of a school of mines by the Government, and after some other remarks he concluded withâ€"the announcement that this was the preface to afuature lecture. at the Po captured Mr. Billings was called upon for his opinian as to Dr. Otway‘s assertion, that coal wou}d te found in Canada; He contented himself with observing that if coal were ever found here, it would prove the overthrow of the preâ€" sent Geological theories.

And further that the offence was planned and the inception of it here. He also relied on the 22 Vic., Chap. 102, Sec. 1. _ Mr. O‘Brian on the part of the defendant submitted that the indictment shewed no ofâ€" fence, that it did not appear that the rescue of goods in the custody of the law was an indictâ€" able offence in Lower Canada, and as the otâ€" tence, if any, was committed there this Court had no jurisdiction in the case. J seph Jodouin, the Pfllifl, was then called and examined by Mr.‘Dartnell. He, proved the facts of the seizure, rescue and reâ€"capture as stated, and further, that since the last court her», the defendant had entered into the necesâ€" sary security for the value of the timber to abide the order of the court in the several atâ€" tacl:ment suits, and on the perfecting of the security the raft had been given up to him. The court asked, this being the case, was ther: any object in carrying the case further. Mr. Dartnell replied that he weas not aware of this fact until that moment, it having taken place in the interval between the court, and no intimation of it having been made to him. Th« object of the prosecution being thus atâ€" tain«d, he would not press the case further. cee The chairman said he would take a note of Mr.* O‘Brian‘s objection and let the case proâ€" A verdict of "not guilty" was then reâ€" cornted. . ‘There was a second indictment against the sam« party for a second rescue of the same timber at Hawkesbury, in the County of Presâ€" cott, and on this a verdict of " not guilty" was also recorded by consent. . l the ghree first cases the defendan being in custody, Bench Warrants were « ed to be issued. + o The Que®n c+.

Paul Labelle had purchased the premiâ€" ses in question from a Mr. Brown, for £500, paying £100 down, and securing the reridue by imortgage, payable in four annual instalâ€" ments on the 1st of January in each year. Th« mortgage was purchased from Brown by Mr. W. Rodden of Montreal, who was in treaty with Labelle to buy him out. Labelie had pai! the instalment of £100 due in January, 186+, and part of the instalment due in Januâ€" ary, 1867. ‘The negociation for the purchase of l.abelie‘s interest fell through, and there being a power of sale in casé of, defanlt, Mr. Ro«den resolved to take advantage of it, and without any formal deman«, or notice of sale, proceeded to sell the mortgaged premises at the office of Mr. Dunning, his attorney, in Ottawa. +Before the sale, Mr. Labelle made a temier of $376, more than the amount due, and offered to pay any costs, which was reâ€" fus~d, and then be filed an injunction bill in chancery to stay the sale, which was served on Mr Rodden, Lefore it took place ; the sale wa=, however, proceeded with, and Mr. R.

The Paris correspondence of the London Times writes as follows : * No business at the Bourse, but plenty of Chassepot 1ifles in store. ‘Thus may be summed up the present state of affairs here. Not only on the Paris Bourse, |but throughout France, very little business is doing, for confidence is gone and credit dead. It is the natural consequence of a nation‘s \destinies resting entirely in the hands of one man that his smallest word excites alarm, and his most candid utterances find but besitating acceptance. The present feeling is one of mistrust and apprehension as to the fature, and the pursuits of peace naturally suffer tor it. The prevailing opinion undoubtedly is that next year will bring war." " You remember the language of the Govâ€" ernment of the Emperor each tim» that it has had occasior ‘to explain itself respecting the state of things created by the military events of last sammer. Our attitude was detined first in the circular of the 16th of September last ; again later by the language of His Maâ€" jesty the Emperor at the opening of the Senate and Legislative Bocy ; and lastly, by the speeches of the Minister of State during the Parliamentary debates of last session. We have not ceased to show ourselves in all our actions, faithful to the fntentions which we have from the ‘first manifested in presence of the changes that have taken place in Gerâ€" many. At a recent conjuncture we have seen the cabinets of Europe do justice to the straight forwardness of our policy, and lend their conâ€" currente to our ideas of pacification. What then occurred is a guarantee for the ~support which, in case of need, ideas of moderation would again receive from them. The interâ€" views of the Emperor Napoleon with the Emâ€" peror Francis Joseph could not, therefore, have the character ‘attributed to them by certain journalists. . Long before meeting at Salzburg the two Soverigns bad both attested by their acts, and by the pacific sentiments which guide them, that their governments, united, conld not form any other design than that â€"of persevering in the same line of conduct as hitherto. ‘Their conversations upon general aftairs were limited to this assurance, which was mntually given. F " The journey oftheir Majesties were solely dictated by the idea of bearing an affectionat> testimony of sympathy to the imperial family of Austria, so cruelly aficted by a recent misâ€" fortune. ‘Certainly the heads of two great Emâ€" pires could not betogether in confiding intiâ€" macy for several days without mutually comâ€" municating to one another their impressions, and exchanging ideas on questions of general interest. But ueither the object northe result of their interviews was the formation of comâ€" binations, which there is nothing in the preâ€" sent state of Europe to justify. c ns "I desire to let you know my opinion upon publications of which the object is to create a contrary impression." o e " You may adopt these considerations in orâ€" der to correct the erroneous views on the subâ€" ject which may prevail around you. "Thus, far from considering the Salzburg interview as a gubject tor preâ€"occupation and anxiety to other courts, we should see in it only a fresh motive for confidence in the preâ€" servation of peace." ; The Salzburg Interview=â€"Circular of the French Government. The Marquis de Moustier, French Minister for Forcign Affairs, has addressed a circular, dated the 25th of August, to the diplomatic agents of France abroad on the subject of the meeting of the Emperor Napolcon with the Emperor Francis Joseph, at Salzburg. _ â€" The Times editorially remarks that in France the dangeralleged from the formation of a stroug German State on the Rhine conâ€" stitutes a good party cry against the Impcrial Government, and regrets that the cry is met with apparent assent rather than with open deâ€" fiance. The bolder would probably, be the safer course, but the first condition of (rie peace is disarmaiment, and a decree for the disâ€" missal of soldiers is worth any amount of *peeches and notes. + TREATY BETWEEN AUSTRIA AXD PRUSsiA. The ‘Situation publishes the draught of a m between Austria and Prussia, chiefly on the principle that Prussia should favour the extension of Austria‘s power in the East, and that Austria should support Prussia‘s projects in Germany. The Situation affirms that the sketch of a treaty was presentâ€" ed at Vienna by Count Reck, shortly before the mission of Court Tauffkirchen. _ y THE REMAINS OP XAPOLREON THE SECOXD. + The London Times says : The Parisian public may soon look forward to a new but harmless excitement, ‘The remains of Napoleon II. are, it is stated, to be removed from their various restingâ€"places at Vienna, and laid in the newlyâ€" restored vaults of the Abbey of St. Denis. The deputation on whom will devolve the duty of conveying them has already been appointed and consists of Marshal Regnault de St. Jean d‘Angely, the Duke of Bafsano, M. de Camâ€" baceres, and Gen. Fleury. Marshal Vaillant is busy with the programme of the funeral ceremony. The circular says : "In going to Salzburg the Emperor aud the Empress were guided by public opinion, a sentiment which could> not mistake, and 1 should refrain from writing to you now of the interview between the two Sovereigns, had it not formed the subjectof interpretations which tend to distort the cha. racter it possessed. day< more tor their payments, after delinquents will be heavily, tined amounis of taxes still remain unpai Sugar quiet at 84 reals. of the British nati he can be replac ehase the island o Wasurxctox, Sept l'rgieri«'k Bruce, in lations between the 1 britain, is Jooked It is not seen how DV}LLI, September 20.â€"Captain Osborne, one of the Fenian prisoners, made his escape from jail at Clonmel last night..

The Stratford Beacon is thanktul for very swall favors. It devotes over a column to the text " victory in North Perth," and prociaims in tones of jubilation that the townships comâ€" prising that county have been redeemed. The redemption cannot be said to be a very disâ€" tinct one ; but it is based upon the fact that whereas, at the last election, Mr. Daly had a clear msjority in those townships ofâ€"328, he is now defeated by a majority of 208. ‘That is a pretty good case on the face of it, but it is somewhat remarkable that our contemporary should have forgotten that there was anotber contest going on at the same time, that for the Local Le‘hhl.ut:lnd that Mr. Montieth, a «"Tory" after the strictest sect, was elected by a majority of 413, thus increasing the majorâ€" ity of the last election by cightyâ€"five vows. The Beacon is at liberty to persevere in that description of redemption to the fullest extent. The truth is that as between Mr. Daly and Mr. Rebiord there was little politically to choose. Even the editor of the Beacon will not pretend to say that the latter will not support the adâ€" ministration : and as upon the,. main issue~â€" coufidence in the governmentâ€"there was no difference between the candidates, the quesâ€" tion was simply between a resident and a nonâ€"resident candidate. ‘The resident canâ€" didate carried off the victory, while the county by its sweeping majority to Mr. Monâ€" teith, testified its adbesion to its old princiâ€" ples. toration of all privileges, rights of property, t'lu"lil & regard to slaves, and except proceedings under the lay States," upon condition that | shall seeck such pardon shal "faithfully support, protec Constitution of the Unite Union of. the States thet» only " the chief, or pretende officers, including the Pre« "a proper appreciation of the letter and spirit of the constitution may at this time well sngâ€" gest a doubt whether avy amendment â€"to the constitution ought to be proposed by Conâ€" gress, and pressed on the legislatures of the several States for final decision, untilafter the admission of senators and representatives of the now unrepresented States." . © Here, then, as briefly as may be, we have stated the preseut issue between Congress and the President, and would add furthermore that we believe, from what we know of the Presiâ€" dent‘s temperament as a man, that he hatreâ€" solved to resist the will: of Congress, even to impeachment, i/ not actually after, if he sees a sufticient party s»staining him, to make even a respectable resistance. It is too early to speculate . upon the ultimate turn _ aflairs political may take in this rapidly changing and ever restless Republic, but should parties remain, until the eve of the next Presidential election as evenly divided throughout the enâ€" tire countryâ€"of course, Including the recently seceded Statesâ€"as they are even at the present writing, we may again witness an appeal to the last alternative among men, and once moreâ€"yet we certainly hope not â€"see brought home to every fireside, North as well as Sonth, the terrible reality of an intestine war. How long must we wait for civilized nations, as well as individuals, to learn that it is in the spirit, and not in the letter, that we must look for lasting constitutions as well as rafe and righteous Government. Summum jus, summa injyuria.â€"New York Albion. ' States ; he thet to all persons w | ticipated in the | toration of all But what of South Perth? If we mistake not, Mr. Macfariane was elected for the whole county by a majority of about fifty votes, and as in the Northern townships he was in a minority of 328, it follows that he must have polled in the others a majority of about 380. We now find that he is elected by the comparatively narrow majority of 93, a Conâ€" servative gain of nearly 300. We recomâ€" mend that fact for the consideration of the Beacon. ‘Taking Mr. Monteith‘s and Mr. Guest‘s elections together, we find a Conserâ€" vative gain in the old County of Perth of something over three bundred and fifty,. We confess that such a process of political reâ€" demmption is not at all to be subjected to. We hope it may continue during the next five ammâ€"sty, for any act or thing ‘which, without such pardon or amnesty, would dirqualify him for registering or voting." _ Per Contrs the President‘s semiâ€"official organ at Washington asserts in advance that it was " the unanimous opinion of the préseut cabinet" that " the legal effect of the contemplat«d â€" Amâ€" nesty © Proclamation would be to relieve all persons included within its terms from all disgualification, as well as all penalties incurred by their complicity in the late rebellion, and of course, so far as the action of the general Government is concerned, from disatality as to the ezercise of th: right of sufroge" ‘Iu this nutshell, then, lies the political point of the proclamation, as between the President and Congress, and this question can only be setâ€" tled by the constitation itself. By this instrument it would appear that i both the President and Congress are justified ; for while the constitution declares, Art. IIL., Rec. I1I., that © Congress shall have power to declare the purishment of treason," it on the other hand sets forth, Sec. IL., Art. II., that | Congres®, it appears, had anticipated this course on the part of the President,and in the Supplementary Reconstruction Actâ€"of. Jaly 14, 1®57, Sec, 7, prescribed that " No person shall, «t any time, be entitled to be registered .. "the President shall have power to grant reâ€" prieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachâ€" ment." and C cal tit affair. years throughout the country, and by that time ultra radicalism, or Brownism, will be: pretty effectually destroyed, States ; he therefore extends & * full pardon to all persons who, directly or indirectly, par. ticipated in the late relellion, with the resâ€" toration of all privileges, immunities and rights of property, except as to property with regard to slaves, and except in cases of legal proceedings under the laws of the United States," upon condition that ev¢ry person who shall seck such pardon shall take an oath to "Afaithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of. the States theseunder," excepting only " the chief, or pretended chief, executive officers, including the, President, . Viceâ€"Presiâ€" dent and all heads of departments of the preâ€" tended Contederate, or relel, Government, and all who were agents thereoi to foreign States and countries, and all who beld, or pretended to hold, in the service of the said pretended Confederate Goverument, a military rank, or title, above the grade of Brigadierâ€"General, or naval rank, or title, above that of Captain, and all who were, or pretended to be, Governors of States, while maintaiuing, abettiog or submitâ€" ting to and acquiescing in, the retefMlion." Now, had the Presideut pronounced this proclamation a year ago, no doubt the great mass of the American people would have reâ€" sponded Amen ; but the antagonism ‘that has smimcte been developed between the President and Congress gives the whole matter a politiâ€" has defined the purposes of the Executise I»â€" partment. imuch more clearly _ The long talked of "Ammesty Proclamaâ€" tion" his lbeen boldly promulgated by the President in direct antagonism to the two. thirds vote of the cxisting legislative departâ€" ment of theGovernment, and thereby a poâ€" litical * war to the knife" is declated by that THE AMERICAN |CCNSTITUCTIO® o TRIAL. ; Tbt“}(”lli\d prescience" of Lord Stanley when he said " the real difficulties of the North would begin whenever theirarms might bave couguered their opponents," we think will now be gemeraliy admitted, even is these United (?)

COMMENT ON MR. WELLE®S LETTER. Mr. Wells, the writer, points to an anomaly which seems to have presented itself to him in the â€"circumstance that, while â€"be has obâ€" gerved among all classes of persons in this country a most cordial feeling toward the United States, he finds public writers conâ€" gtantly indulging, especially as regards finanâ€" cial matters, in misrepresentations and abuse, calculated to produce illâ€"will, distrust and jealousy, Merein it may be hoped be is misâ€" taken. With few exceptions, it is thought, the greatest care is practiced not only because the English people ider the vommercial ~ and financial ptupttil’ of . America to be identical with their own, and any babitual atâ€" to it would be viewed with m, l:thra:‘. because it is known that a degree of sensitiveness exists on .the other side, which often causes even the most temâ€" perate statements, if they happen to be of a premonitory character, to be regarded as eviâ€" Gences of a hostile animus. The fact is that â€" it is in the leading American jouruals that the most alarming intimations constantly appear, and that if. much caution wepe mot exercised by Mflqmm&m articles or drawing too strong an inference from them, an amount of distrust would be gemcrated, such as that which Mr. Wells deprecates. Even the remark of Mr. Wells, that unreâ€" strained comment in Grest Britain on these topics might ripen into injurions legislation or actual war, is discouraâ€" ging. That there must be :an intonse . Gesire here for the ~stability of Amcrican fipance cannot be questioned when it is borne . in mind that, according to general estimate, about oneâ€"fifth of the entire debt of the United States is beld in Europe, chiefly in England, Germany and Holland, and there is scarcely a family in this country that would not, cither directly or indirectly, sufier should any disasâ€" (From the London Times‘s City Article, Sept. 2 laweu-«pm to it.
