The "Northern Army" broke camp at Aldershot a week ago yesterday, and marching in two columns at ar average rate of 17 miles per day, through Hungerford, Pewsey and Amesbury, were to concentrate at the little village of Codâ€" ford toâ€"morrow, Thursday, 5th September. Meantime, the "Southern Army,"â€" repreâ€" senting the invading force, was to ts colâ€" lacted at Blandford, and on the 4th inst was to move is two columns northward. Toâ€"morrow a further movement was to be made, when the advance guard would find itself in close proximity to the enemy;} i. «, the " Northern Army." The fighting would, it was supposed, commence about Friday next, and will terminate on the 11th inst. Oa the following day the manâ€" couyvres will terminate with a grand march past of the entire force,in the neighborhdod of a place called Beacon Hill, where the traces of an old Roman camp may/still be ssen. After the march past, the troops will return to their respective headquarters, and the militiamen and volunteers be forwarded to their homes. Field Mairshil, the Duke of Cambridge, will beâ€" the umpire, and the Prince of Wales will bofirnent durâ€" ing the manceavre; not, as list year, in command of aregiment; but on the st«ff. The autumn mancouvres have comâ€" menced in England. Nearly forty thou sand troops, regulars, militiamen and volâ€" untieers are participating in the operations. The section of country in which the movements are taking place is hallowed by many historic associations and tradiâ€" tions. It extends from Salisbury Plain, with its mysterious old ruins, Stonehenge, i | miins to do. Questions which require the , | most delicate handling have to be disâ€" , | posed of, before we can bowbunnnu‘ ) | and ere long without <loubt shall a | great homogeneous people, iree from e=7 ) | taint of sectionalisth, and strong in that ) | union of heart and sentiment from which : | national greatness alone cin spring. | Under such cireamstainces we say there are | certain obvious duties which every true Canadian owes,t> the Administration. We : | do not say that every Ministerial action | ought not to be closely watched and fairly | criticised. On the contrary we believe | that it is the duty of the Opposition to | scrutinize narrowly every Ministerial | measure. We do not claim that any | mistake which Sir John Macdon:â€"li or | his colleagues may make ought to "te passed by unnoticed or uncensured. â€" For all they do they should be held responâ€" sible to the country. We ask no favours for them, but we do claim it as their right, |that now the people of "Canads bave declared that those great and important matters in which the future destinies of the Dominion are so closely involved shall be dealt with by the present Administraâ€" tion, it is wrong, aye it is traitorous ard unpatriotic in the extreme, for any man or‘ set of men to engage in a factious opposition to every Ministerial measure merely for the sake of opposition. Canâ€" ada has been disgraced and the charaster of Canadian politics has been lowered too long by that unprincipked and unreasonâ€" able opposition which Mr. Brown mauguâ€" nut_l|in 1867. The result of the elections shows that the people do not approve of it, m'Ln any man do so who gives the matter a little consideration. If members elected are not pledged to support the Administration, if they have not promiscd their constituentsâ€" to stand by a vmm-' ment in which a majority of the electors have implicit confidence, then let them coame to Parliament determined to judge that Government on its merits ; not to oppose every Ministerial measure because | ‘it is a Ministerial measure, but to support it if it commends itself to their approval, no matter what Mr. MacKenzie may say, no matie: though in common with all the best men of Canada they shoul i come to | be " black lettered " in the columns of the @lobe. In fine, let those members of |/ the House who are inclined to sit upon | the Opposition benches, make up their minds that their politic«l course shall te m patriotic and independent one, based |. upon common sense and common honesty, || not upon Faction and a blind, bigotted |‘ devotion to party and poriy aims l Tae clamant u: stuli miking a sort oi progress through the principal towns and cities of England amd appears to be suc vessful in obtaining a vast amount o| sympathy. Many persons believe that he is the genuine Tichborne, while a far greater number are of opinion that, whether he is the real min or an imâ€" poster, he was harshly dea‘t with by the Crown.

TEE AUTUMN MANGUVRES THE 1ICHBORNE CasE Upon arriving at Sir John‘s residence, some of the leading members of the Trades organizitions were introduced to the Preâ€" mier, who was invited to â€" take a seat in the curriago prepared for him. _ In the carriage with him were J. M. Currier, Esq., M. P., Bis Worship the Mayor, and Mr. D. O‘Donoâ€" ghue, Chairman of the presentition Comâ€" mittes. The torches were then lit and the procession started, and as it passed down Rideau street amid the glate of the torches, the blase of fireworks, the music of the bands, and the cheers of the assembled throng, the spectacle was inâ€" deed a grand one. The sidewalks were literally packedâ€"with spectators all slong the line of route, and it is safe to asâ€" sert that not less than ten thousard per. sons took part in the celebration. Un ar riving at the City Hall, Sir John Macdonâ€" ald was conducted on t»> the balcony, and some idea of the number présent may be tormed when we say that the whole of the vity Hall Square was filled with people. Among those present on the beloony beâ€" sides the Premier were the Honllie. Mr. Tilley, His Worship the Mayor, J. M. Curâ€" rier, Eq. M. P., Dr. Grant, M. P., W. McKay Wright, Esq., M.

At the hour of eight o‘clock all the memâ€" bers of the different Trides‘ Unions of the city were on hand and duly arranged by their respective officers, and in conjunction with them the entire Fire Brigade was marshalled under Chief Langford, destined to throw light upon the occasion. Ata given signsl and after a fow excellent stritus from the fiuo band of tho O4AWTE Garrison Artillery, the procession was orâ€" ganized by the Marshals, Messrs. Killduff and Robertson, and proceeded to the resiâ€" dence of Sir John in the following order : â€" Union Jack ‘ Last night one of the grandest demonâ€"~ stations that it has éver been our lot to witness, took place under the auspices ‘of the workingmen,of the capital, to welâ€" come home after his laborious tour to the West, the Right Honorable Sir John Mac« donald, K. C. B., Premier of the Dominâ€" ion. The City Hall was appointed as the place of rendesvous, and as early ILLUMINATION, FIREWORKS, &c., &6 \.wn Sir Ro‘mm and had been an o‘ficer of the Carabineers at the same | time withâ€"bimself. A man named Marks, formerly a sergeant in the Carabineers, also spoke as to hbis identity, while Mr. juilford Uunslow denounced tlp course Government had taken, and said*he knew the mother of the claimant, who swore to his ilentity, and thit it was unjuâ€"t that ith. jury should reject her testimony, which was of more importance thih the rest of ths evidences in his behalf. He also stated that within the last few hours they h«d received er.dence to show that one of the crew of the Belis hai.been disâ€" covered as haviog landed at Swansea, but thit as soon as hbe did so be ns transâ€" terred to a steamship by the claimint‘s oppovenis, and sent to Spain. They would, however, at the:trial, be able to prduce the psren‘s of the sailor, who would testify as to their son‘s return. This induvidual was named William Evans, and nog Thomas Evans, aud he would to able to Â¥peak ‘@s to the ciaimant having lived in Melbourne under the name of Castro. He had also other evidence to account for the two others out of the five composing the crew of the Lells. Mr. Onslow stat=d his determination to go on with the agitation, and‘stump the country in spite of the strictures of ;:members of Parliiment. Adarge sum of movey has already been subscribed to assist in payâ€" ing the claimant‘s expenses, and additional subscriptions are coming in da‘y. He and his triends have succeedc i in making the public believe tnat he has been unâ€" fuirly dealt with, and, trusting to that English lcve of fair play which always in clines an Englishman to sympathize with the &â€"od, he appeals t» the hearts rather than to the heads of his countryâ€" Grand Ovation to the Right Hon, Sirt John M«cdonald, K C.

McKay Wright, Esq., M.P., then ex, pressed his nfinhcfionlz the magnificent ovation just acconied the Premier, and said he had reason to feel proud of it, the more especially as it cime from the arti> zins who were the bone and sinew of every country, And so lonfiuu Sir John lnofnfld had such men at his back,there was lKitle danger of his sustaining any plifiw As he was the junior mem| Parliament present he would not detain them longer, (Cheers.) appreciated the services of the Canadi:n Premier. _ He retired amid loud cheers.

According to the valuation books of the Mfixmfio real estate of that city is 1 $18,3882,632. 1t was $1,000,â€" oo&u-uuu. j There also is Fivary of Digby, whose oratorical powers are of no mean order. who has been in a measure the acting member for Halifax in the‘ absence of Jones and Power, and who has won the first steps in a political career of very much prominence. hnM is also Samuel Macdonnell, wm very much itical experience, w huminfimglvlodgo of the needs of the Province, and whose return to Uttawa i-smpurewud for the many pulitical services he has rendered to the county he so long represented in the Legislature of Nova fiwuh to be attacked with impunity, and too strong to be denied any reasonsble thing they imay demand for their Province. For the first time since the Union, Nova Ssotin has now a firm phalanx of her memve s on one side, under no ban of unpopularity, under no stigma of desertion ; and we mk will 'm.nnd the sn mtbooounl.i y wi results they wi al?oomplhm this Province.â€"Ha‘ifaz It is thought the Southern Extension of the Wellington, Grey & Bruce R«ilway mub::othr traffic as far as Ainley~ ville, perhaps to Wingham, this year. The second Friday in September will be a gala day for Forest, inasmuch as the Teachers‘ intion will hold its regular meeting in day time, and will give a conve e in the evening, with music, readings, and speeches. _ Wehave not time to go over the list of m and younger names that will one y be too | inent to be passed over in silence ; {nt those we have mentioned form a band of politicians too formidable There is Hugh McDonaid, who seems to boldinl: t:o‘hhnm of the people of Anmhh, who has proved the possession of ts of a high order, not only in pubâ€" lic life, but also to the profession to which he belongs, and who may look forward with -omo‘.t;nin; of certainty to a judgeship as the fitting rewerd of his talents and his industry. | _ public_life in provincial politics is wide ; and as the 3unnufiu of Guysborough for many . many a year, he has kept the of his constituency, and won the _ of the public He adds 'Ug\‘ oratory and debatin wer of \l!’nu. two, and who are fiu!;?a,;h, alone, to make Parliament respect the Province from which they coms. . There is Tupper, the bestabused min in the Dominion. He stands thefirst to grasp the helm of State in the Commons if accidert should call away Sir John. He represepts exciting scenes and great sucâ€" cesses in public life in Nova Scotis. He has never been defeated.. Success hi folâ€" 1 wed ‘him iaithfully, chiefly because he faithfully l1sbored for success. His life has been one lorg hard working day. He has shrunk from no labor, he has shirked no toe, he has avoided no discussion. !His en ergy, daring, and splendid courage have câ€"rried him safely through agitations that w.uld have cooled the enthusiasm and broken the spirits of a l=ss brave and resoâ€" lute man. _ He has the patience, the power, the devating talent, the retontive memory, the wide mindâ€"which the Premier of a gre.t country should have; and though ide:oid of that purely personal gopnlnrity which other men more celeâ€" rated have been lacking in similar posiâ€" tions, between Chatham and Gladstone, he still has the wil and the power to w.eld a Houe of Commons on a great question. He is fimiliar with all our wants. He knows our people. He has stuiicd the capabilities of the Province. He has art e4 in developing our resources. Be his {b} sheer will and mental force maiterially helped to change the will of this Proviace to its present satisfactory state. If any man can be of great use to hisown country in a confederation, Tupper can be, as he has been, to Nova Scotia. 1t is to Tupper that all people turn who want anything done for them ou&:blic affairs ; on ‘Tupâ€" per, in fact lies chief weight of the political matters of Nova Scotia, and well and safely has he borne the weight. If he had been our representative of this county for the past five years, we should not have to complain as we do about delay in the ni.lro-m should we feel compellied to elect a new man in his place, because Ac was‘nt attending to his duty. There is the Hon. James McDonald litely elected in Pictou over the popular Carmichael. He brings to the Commons great legal knowâ€" ledge, a wonderful fluency, much personal popt monuuive style of speaking, a polit training acquired in times when was warmer and wilder than it is now. Mr. McDonald is the most considerable man that has been added to oful. rauks of Nova Scotia u::.t:n stand ard the ?inhn during t elections ; and we hate much pleasure in lookin for. ward to his career in the Commons. I’hero is His experience of public life m#l politics is wide ; minion. _ For from whatever politieal"] vflandfiint you may view the matter, it must be admitted that the contribution of Nova Scotia to the ability of the country is yery considerable, and should be most effectual for our good. There is Howe { representing the constitutional history of Nova Scotia, filled full of knowledge of our lpgmylo and our affairs, proud of his public career in his nstive country, the toremost in wit, eloquence, literary skill and political sagacity. No matter what faults he may have (and he has faults) ; no matter what mistakes he has made (and very serious mistakes he has made), he must etill be looked upon as one ot the aviest Nova Scotians we have ever given" to public life. The power that could electrify an audience, the popularity that could~ command the support of a whole people may have somewhat waned, and in new scenes, with new faces, other names and unwonted measures, his old commasnd over politicians may have left him a ;’ulo; but sti‘l no county in this Province but might be proud of him is a representatiye, and no Province in the Dominion but might plume itself on ownâ€" ing him as a native.
