We may and must regret that such is the case, but, as the Pall Mall Gazetie intimates, it is worse than usâ€"less to deny the existence of such a feeling. It. is bet wer to look the matter in the face, and see i in any way we have been to blame or reâ€" sponsible for it. The Pull Mall Gazet‘e informs English men that they labour under a grievous mistake if thâ€"y suppose that the people of the United States Entertain any friendly feelings for the Mother Country. We wal. that we could dispute the Gazetic‘s asse! tion. We wish that we could find some reason to believe that a nation which claims to be one of the foremost in the world, so far as Liberty and Civilization are concerned, was animated by any sincere admiration or affection for that land which long has been, and . still is, the home of true Freelom and the grest civiz ing _ power of the . age. _ But we â€" cansot, . No doubt _ if _ an English or Canadian gentlem in risits the United States, and while there hold com munioation only with the best educated «nd most enlightened classes, ho will not be pained by any mani/estations of hostili ty for the land of his birth. But let nio descend a liitle lower in the scale of society and be afforded an opportunity of becomâ€" ing acquainted with the sentiments 0j "polticiins,‘"" of men like President Gran:t «nd others who, like him, do not repreâ€" sent the intelligence, but do represent the _ American hostility to Canada has beeu displayed in a multitude of w«ys. During the late a.vil war, bec.use a large portiun with the weâ€"aker side in _ then eforts in the cause 0+ Free Government, we were denounced with the utmost bitter ness ; the fact that upwards ‘of 6v,M) Canadians were foolish enough to enlist in the NMorthern army being studious!y ignored. When the first news of the buitle of Bu.l Run arrived and proci .imed it a Northern visctory instead of wht it really was,a shametul defeat, a leading New York jogrnal said, =â€" No#w, let «s turn our victoriouspurms against Canada." At the Detroit Convention it was shown that the U A Counsul General in this country, inâ€" stead of contining himself to the lewitimate â€" duties of his position, was plotting for the _ annexation of Canuda, and there is reason to believe that his immediate successor to some exâ€" toat did the same. Fenian raids upon tius country have been openly eucouraged uy leading public men, and permitted to be uninterruptediy carmed out withou: the interference of the authorities. Now President Grant accuses us of unfriendiy conduct, simply bec.:use we have protect ed our own property from Americ.n spoliation, while weneral Butler is fml secretly the overthrow of institations which «e as precious to us, as those of the Un wd Stmtes are to the people cf that coun wy. What hare we done to deserve this weatment from a nation with waom we earnestly desire to be on terms of amity \ We hare sought no favours frem them ; we have not and do not ask them to reuew the HKeciprocity Treuty, conscious as we «we of our ability to exist without is. Our wwle crime in the eyes of a nation, the tundumental principle of whose politica: tiith is that the right to govern is depen dent upon the will of the governed, is that we happen to prefer our own institutions wo theirs, and choose Queen Victoria to be sar ruler instead of President Grant : LThe great object of General Butler and those who like him are plotting for ou: overthrow, appears t, bo to prore thit a «ide sprewl anneXition sentiment OKlsts irthright.

Even the »Indepen iâ€" ence‘* party has died out, On whaitérer other question Canadian journals may ditâ€" ar, on this sunject we are all united, and, in view of the attempt now being made to «nisâ€"represent us in England and the Unite i +uates, we submit to our contemporaries «hat it would be well that an unanimou~ expression of public opinion should be .mong the people of Canada, und that the Laritime provinces more especially are disaffecmed," and ready to cast aside their yiven, in order to show how detcstable the viee of annexation is to the people of this wuntry, and how thoroughly contented hey are with their present 1ot. #erack" shots of England, Scotland and Irelund, at Wimbledon.

This morning the tuve of the gun, which is about 16 t.et long, was brought out or the factory in which it has been rifled, and tized, muzale downward, in a pit, under the modt powertul crane which the Royal Arsenal pousesses.

The Krupp steel yun, the most powerful ordinance in exâ€" istence, weighs «bout 40 tons, but ite proâ€" jectile weighs only 600ibs., and it is doubtâ€" ful whether it has ever been proved when the Prussians sent it to the Intern«tional Exhibition at Paris. The moderate calibre of the new gun is designed for penietration, and the shot will probatly be three times the length of its diameter. The estimated cost is £2,500. sir William Armstrong‘s estimate for a 35 ton gun was £3,500, and ir Joseph Whitworth‘s £6,000. Ten thouâ€"and troops are marching to. wards Paris, via Chartres.
