JAMES JOYNXT, Nee. The author of this work, Thos. Hughes, Exq., M. P. for Frome, & now on a visit to this continent, and animated by the laudâ€" able desire of trying to promote friendly feeling. and a better understanding be tween the people of Great Britain and of the United States, on Tuesday last he delivered a lecturs in the Boston Music Hughes is a Radical, and while striving to extenuate the sympathy which many Engâ€" late civil war, he â€" said many things with which we do not agree,but we gire him eredit for having declared at the comâ€" The Fenian organ, the New York Star, "above all things else an Englishman, preferring the institutions of England to those of any other country.‘" The referâ€" ence which he made to the Alabama affiir also did him honour. "L stand here toâ€" night,"" said he, "as an Englishman, and say, that at this moment I hare no c,use to be ashamed pf the attitude of my counâ€" try. Two governments in succession have admitted the principle of comprehensive arbitration on all questions between the twO Governments, What more would you ask of a nation of your own blood as grand and senâ€" sitive as yourselves on all points where naâ€" tional bonour is in question?‘ There is a manly ring about this speech which is charâ€" acteristic of the author of "Tom Brown," and we have, no doubt that tho respect which his American auditors previously enâ€" tertained for him, was ‘increased tenâ€"fold by his straightforward manner, and by the bold avowal of his love and preference for his native land. The Americars who aroe so intensely patriotic themâ€" selves, respect and w‘mire the Englishâ€" man who is thus true to us own country, and they despise those who in he hope of gaining their favour and approbation, miugle their laudations of Republican America with denunciations of Monarchical Englâ€"n i. We have little doubt that most of those who listened to Mr. Hughes‘ eloquent lecâ€" ture were more or less influenced by it, and went away animated with more friendâ€" ly feelings towards the Mother Country thn they hil previously entertained. H:s audience consusted for the greater part of the most highly cultivated citizens of Boston, people who while thoroughly American in feeling and ideas, are still posâ€" sessed of some lingeripg foodness for Old World manners and customs, such as is found no where else in the Great Republic, ‘save among the old fiumlies of Virginia, We wish that we could with some reason hope that the effects of Mr. Hughes‘ lec= ture might have some infuence upon | the policy of the Americin GsÂ¥ernment, and _ be. likely to inspire . in the minds of the great body of the people a more frienmdly feeling towards England and her belongings. We fear, however, that his remarks will never reach the eurs of those who, dnfortunately, ex ercise the largest amount of influence upon the government of affuirs in the American Republic.

It is now if we mistake vst, more than sevenâ€" twen years since Colonel Booker organized Hamilton, Ont., purchiusing and paying for the two field pieces, carriages, limbers, uniform &o., out of his own private means. From that time until the year 1866 as Col. onel of the 13th Battalion, and as commanâ€" dant of the active force at Hamilton, he was constantly connected with the Volunâ€" teer Militia, receiving on more than one occasion the thanks of the Governor Genâ€" eral, and Lieutenant General commanding Hor Majesty‘s troops, in general orders. In June 1866 Colonel Booker was ordered to call out the 13th Battalion and proceed at once to Dunville to assist in repulsing the Fenians who had landed at Fort Erie. On }thhlb'h.by with his: own regiment aad the «Queen‘s Own‘" of Toronto he atâ€" t“’ Fenians near Ridgeway,. No f sould have gone under lire for the time more gallantly than they did,and a time all went well. Unfortunately, after about two hours‘ fighting, m which the Canadians were conâ€" grining ground, a ery of " eaâ€" walry‘" was raised ; through the misconcepâ€" 'm-u“nqmmfm.d anic afterwards ensued, which compelied Colbome. As certa.n charges were brought against hins he asked for and obtained a Court of Enquiry the result of which was to exonerate him from all blame. We agree with our Mntreal contemporaries in thinking that it seems hard that a man who has made so riany personal sacrifices on behalf of the volunteers of Canada should have been allowed to remain in the shade, ard hope t~at he and all who like him have in the part done so much towards bringing our army of defence to its preâ€" sent condition of eiliciency, may not be alâ€" together forgotten. Hardly had the rafters of that portion of Mr. Eddy‘s Match Factory, in Hull, lately destroyed by fire, ceased to smoke than the proprietor with true American enterâ€" priscthad a large number of carpenters to work, and to such guod purpose have they busied themselves that the building will be ready for the res:imption of business in a ferw days. Huch enterprise as this should b> applauded and imitated, and can hardly fail to add to the wealth of the capitalist and to the prosperity of the com. munity fortunate enough to rece.ve the benesit of such enterprise. A HUIGHLANXD xonfl?(ut IX8TEAD OF A GERMAN /PRINCE. The telegraph annouhces that the Prinâ€" cess Louisa is about to be married to John Doiglas Sutherland, Marquis of Lorn. This is certainly a marriage for which we have no recent precedent, but although we are aware that there are some th ngs to be said against a prince or a princess of the blood roya marrying a subject, we shall, on the whole, be rejoiced 10 hear that the rumour is true. . The son: and daughters of the reigning monarch are.by law compelled to marry none but Protestants, and the conâ€" sequence: has been, that for nearly two hundred years the royal family have been intermarrying with the princes and prinâ€" cesses of petty and impoverished German states, until, cestainly enough of German blood has becocme mingled with the blood royal of England. The Marquis of Lorn, who is the eldest son of the Duke of Argyle is dessended from royal ancestors. In the twelfth century an ancestor of his, the son of Sir Neil Campbell, married Lady Mary Bruce, the sister of glorious King Robert. More reâ€" cently Lady Jane Stuart, sister of the beautiful and unfortunate Mary Queen of SBeots, became Countess of Argyle ; so that if the Marquis of Lorn becomes the sonâ€"inâ€" law of Queen Victoria it will not be the first time that scions of his house have been connected with Royalty, The Princess Louisa was born in 1848, and the Margquis of Lorn in 1845. ROYAL HONORX. ling, and wo sincerely with THBaE CHEQUEsâ€"OU% GEORGE wWHERE is THE MONEY? It is an axiom, long acknowledged and generally scquiesced in, that the labourer is worthy of his hire. In law, this scriptuâ€" ral adage is especially recognized, nonâ€" payment of wages being as much an ofâ€" fence as the unceremonious knocking over of a fellow creature by a blow of the fist, with malce aforethought, and in the saime manner summanily punishable by the civil magistrate. That which is applicable to the individual applies with still more force to a Corporation, which, as Lord EL don described it, is a thing "without a soul to be damned, or a body to be kicked." It wopnld be a useless waste of time, the able and learned Lord‘s definition being correct, to attack the City Council of Ottawa, as représentatives of the city corporate, and, m”mwu.cflvcm of Ot, tawa may be to attack, we . shall contine ourselves for the present toshowing simply the Â¥%ro.s mismanagement of public aftairs by tlie most important, as he is the most overbearing, tyrannical, unsorupulous, and unjust of all the city officers. ‘This public ringe 0‘ our excellent Mayor, a man distinâ€" guished for the power and beauty of his public utterances at Toronto and elsewhere as for the excellence of his beer, two years ago, or more, was indebted to the city in the sum of $4,000 for taxes which he ‘had collected from the citizens, but had unforâ€" ultimately â€" paid, _ and _ Mr. George Honey Preston, brotherâ€"inâ€"law to him, who is Mayor of Ottawa by accident,.â€"was conâ€" tinued as City Collector. It might have been supposed that the warning which a deficit of $4000 had afforded would have produced some amendment in the pardonâ€" ed delinquent, and that some decent atâ€" wummtollhemo-!e dm"hmw funds for private ‘rdvantage would have been made. But there has boon non#e. **Qur George"" has neither forgotten anything or learned anyâ€" thing by experience. He is siill the same. Rich and poor sufter by him alike and ~the credit of the city worse than either. As merciless as he ever was, he still levies and d.stresses with wouderful impartiality, ‘and clings to what he collects as determinedly as Uhrich did to: Strasbourg. Neither widows‘ cries nor infants‘ wailings make this conscientious St. Matthew swerve from the sacred duty of levying and distressâ€" ing. He gathers greedily and therein George Honey Preston, the collector of taxes, does not pay over to him the moneys which he has collected. The City Chamberlain alleges that Mr. Preston has public moneys in possession, or ought to have, and that these muneys ought to be paid into the city treasury. Mr. Preston does not perform this the most important part of his duty, and why ? That he knows perfectly, and we suspect. The taxes should be paid in by the 31st. Dec. of my.r,ndhfly@rtbttim was exâ€" tended im mercy to the collector, not to widows and other poverty stricken houseâ€" holders, till 31st March last. Not a single sou has tound its way into the treasury. Where are all the dollars and dimes colâ€" lected since the reâ€"appointment: of Mr. Collector Preston to office under the reign of his kind hearted and eloquent marriage ¢ nuexion * There are twenty.two pub, lic teachers of youth in Ottawa who are pail by cheques from the School Trustees upon the Chamberlain of the city, They labour zealously, and are men and women tully deserving of their wages by industry, character, and attainments. They obtain from the Trustees of the Pubâ€" lic Schools cheques for a quartor‘s salary, and find that they are no more redeemable in cash than a French revolutionary gssignat or Yankee shinâ€"plaster. They must shave the cheques at a broker‘sâ€"cheques, which it is criminal to issue without funds to moet them at maturityâ€"or keep them up for redemption at home, if they can afford to do so, until it pleases Mr. Collector Preston to pay up. ‘lhe City Council are not all to blame for this state of things. ‘There are independent, honorable, conâ€" scientious men in"the Council who desire to do right. When Mr. Alderman Cunâ€" ningbam was Chairman of the Finance Committe, he endeavored to bring about a more satisfactory state of matters, but influence which no one better un derstands or can better appreciate than man Cunningbam desired to bring the mellifiuous gatherer of taxes to time, but found it could not be done saiisfactorily and gave up the task. There were two things to be done. Mr. Preston must pay up or Alderman Cunningham resign his position of Chairman of the Finance Committee. Will it be believed ?â€"Mr. Cunningham resigned. Of course it is impossible for us to know who will bring Mr. George Honey Preston to tisk this year, or whether it will be necessary for him to give way before the St. Matthew of these latter days. Time will tells the prayers and the praise of the righteous avail much. ‘This certainly it boots us to tell. The City Collector must disgorge, for the cdtay of reckoning is at hand. Where is the money ? We understand that the Adjutant Gerâ€" eral has obtained authority to miseanother Field Battery of Artillery to be atitached to the 3rd Brigade, military district No. 5, with headquarters at Sherbrooke, and that he is now in a position to complete the Battery with guns, &c. This Bri;»de‘ with its proportion of that invaluable arm,â€"artillery,â€"will then be complete. We have rexson to believe that the Adâ€" jutantâ€"General is not likely to rest satisfied until he can see every Brigade in the Doâ€" minion of Canada completed with its batâ€" tery of Field Artillery. â€" Colonel Jarvis, of the Untario Rfle Batâ€" l""“"" is expected in Oitawa toâ€"day.

Where were then these valiant * #portsmon of Simcoe," who now propose to club together and tind funds to invade private rights and attack a legal title?

Beneficial in the extreme. The p:rerty his been well and liberally man:g â€"the aquatis and other game _ efficiently ir.ohocted and enormously increased â€" t furbearin animals preserved and multiplied beyon& measure, and their sk ns have attuined a high market value. Shooting and trapping are now properly regulated, everything is conducted,in an orderly and reasonable mamnner. â€" Steady. remunerative employâ€" ment is ensured to an .industrious, civil and sober class of trappers and hunters who ?inAfur themselves and families a resâ€" nectable livelihood. In everythinsg about the pectable livelihood. In everything about the place there is a happyfiimprovement.. An essent.al land merk and natural breakwater has been preserved in the interests of public navigation ; and an immense local vreeding ground for game right in the heart of the w«â€"stern peninsula lhas been established. Thore is now no more indisâ€" crminate spring, summer, autumn and fall shooting. _ No unseasonable trapping. No driving off the animals from their restâ€" ing and foodinig-ound-. No more Sunday shooting. ln short, no more of such wickâ€" ed and wanton waste of our choicest game and fish and needful furs aswe have witâ€" nesseéd year after year in bygone days. It is of course quite true that Tom, Dick and Harry from both sides of the lake who used to luxuriate in all sorts of lawless license in the marshes and around the point are excluded from their customary liberty. Freedom to kill ducks and destroy rats, mink and fish at will, and by every conceivable means, and to strip oft every vestige of timver, no longer exists. It may be natural for them to complain of the deprivation. Is it not still more na tural and right also th:;gomns who have invested their money © bestowed their attention on rescuing the game, &c., from extmctio& should object to the hunting community in general, and poaching traâ€" ternity in particular now enthHing the pleaâ€" sant fruits of their successful outlay and, their spirited endeavours? The public sense o{imfioe. always praciically right, can but answer ‘yes.‘ And what is it that alittle knot of querulous "sportsmen,‘"‘ and a few popularityâ€"hunt ng abettors now 'proEou to do ? â€" They have never in all their lives spent one cent towards preserving or fro- tecting the and nover themselves (even on _Habfith. days) desisted, or comâ€" pelled others to desist, from illegally killâ€" 2, possessing, buying and selling it.
