more than four or five of which were of a spe-
cially impertant character. His Exeellency then
prorogued the Session with a speech which was
quite characteristic of the Session—short and not
marvellously interesting.

It is needless te add that the usual farmalities
were observed at the prorogation; but there
seemed to be a smaller attendance than usual of
Volunteers and citizens.

The following is

THE SPEECH.

Mr. Prestdent aud Honorable Gentlemen of the
Legislative Council:

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of
Assembly :

The unremitting attention which you have
bestowed on your Legislative duties, enables me
to relieve you, at an earlier period than usual,
from further attendance here.

After deliverate consideration of the termes
adopted by the Conference at Quebee, asa basis
for Ce of the British North American
Provinces, you haye refused, on the part of this

and other preperty of the rebels themselves, and
by the same reason, supposing us to share the
crime and fate of the rebels, the whole soil of Bri-
tish America may be confiscated and sold to satisfy
the holders of Federal paper. Imagination itsel/
cannot picture the condition of those Provinces,
with ali the interesting varieties of race, handed
over to administrators selected for the very purpose
of stamping out every vestige of British feeling,
and making their alienation an msult to this
country. But ia it indeed necessary to warn any
British subjects of his certain fate if he gives up
his fields, his altars and his hearths into the hands
of masters fresh fromthe decimation ef their own
people? Does anybody there think it poss:ble to
purchase by compromise the equality of citizens,
and to get. off with even a moderate contribution
to the war? The Americans, we all see, car be
true enough to their rulers so long as the terests
of the struggle require a share of contidence and
continuity of management. Buf we see, also,
that they will bear no check to their cupidity,
their triumph or their revenge. Once in posses-
sion of British soil, “ra rictis” will be the ery,
and neither President Lincoln nor any other
President will be able to prevent it. lodepen-
dence is the only hope of the Colonist—indepen-
dence in its present forin — or if it must be at
some distant day formal, literal or absolute self-
goverument. For the present there is only ques-
tron, and only one way of answering tt--CONFE-

NOVA SCOTIA.
IN this Provinee the project vf Confederation
on the principles of the Quebec Convention, has,
by a formal vote in the Legislature, been pro-
nounced “ impracticable” for the present. This
was to be expected. The unwise decision of the
electors of New Brunswick bas rendered it
“impracticable” in all the Maritime Provinees.
When the New Brunswickers come, iowever, to
see the error of their decision, and demand a re-
versal of it in the Legislature, then the projeet

will cease to be “‘ impracticable. In the mean-
while the Government of Nova Scotia reeommend

Unien is ten times more objectionable than a
Federal one.

Mission FROM CANADA TO EXGLAND.—The
| Delegation from Canada to England, to confer

| with the British Government on the questions of

Confederation and Colonial Defences generally,
are now on their way to the Mother Country.
As their Mission will, to avery great extent, et-
fect the Lower Provinces, we shall look very
anxiously for the result of it. ‘he Delegates
are, the Hon. Mr. Cartier, Attorney General of
Lower Canada; Hon. Mr. Galt, Finance Minis-
ter; and the Hon. Mr. McDougall, Provincial
Secretary. The Honorable Mr. McDonald, At-
torney General for Upper Canada, wasalso named
as one of the Delegates; but it was thought that
his impaired health would not enable him to un-
dertake the voyage.

A CANADIAN OPINION ON THE PRESENT
ASPECT OF CONFEDERATION.—Alluding to the
rejection by the maritime provinces uf this great
project, the Toronto Globe says:—

‘* We regret thatthe full realization of the scheme
of British American Union should be postponed for
au indefinite period. But our regrets are not of a
selfish or narrow sort. Canada can live without
the Lower Provinces. We did not seek union with

SONNET ON SPRING.

Spring comes in beauty with her vernal wand,
A yoddess full of cheerfuluess and song !—

There’s not a tree that lives upothe land,
But opes its eyelids as she glides along,

The aged oak that lifts its arms so strong
By yon sequester'd ruins’ lonely wall,—
The sober yew, half suffocated among
Its twining ivy—hears her joyful call;
While groves and glens beside the waterfall,
In haste re-dress in pure and love ly green,
And flowers look forth like seutter’d stars,and all
Is fresh and fair,and sunny and serene.
This is the resurrection of sweet things,
She o'er the earth her bonnteous beauty flings !

‘Tis a dear little hat! and it hangs there still,

For it seems like a shadow of days pass‘d o'er,
Of the bright one gone who that hat once wore.

And many a wreath for its crown have been twin'd,

To the graceful taste of beygyoutiful mind.

Still playfully rolled, as has been its wont ;

But the golden ringlets that waved below,
Have curled their last cluster long ago,

Those light blue eyes, as in days of yore;

And the sunlit smile, that danced on that brow,

May never again clasp the braided st outta
Though the breeze no longer may hear the tone,
Of the ringing laughter of childhood’s own:

Oh! think of him now with a glittering crown,
On her heavenly forehead resting down,

While her fingers stray o’er the golden. wire,
That bends wiih her voice ’mid the cherub choir.

Aye, I see her now, with aholy light
Pouring broad o'er his brow, with radiance bright ;
And I hear the tones which in heaven bave birth,
Ob! call her not back to this saddened earth.

Lord Granville, one of the greatest of Eng-
land’s great men, said last month in the
House of Lords :-— What ought to make us
still more proud of the good Government
which must undoubtedly have prevailed
among us, is to find that our North American
Colonies, in expressing their wish to continue
their connection with this country, and in
adopting the new institutions they have been
considering with such calm and prudent states-
manship, have thought it desirable to keep as
close as possible to the constitution and in-
stitutions under which we so happily live.”’

them to filch money from their treasuries. as so
many of their people have said, and, we suppose,
some believed. We desired union for bigher rea-
sons, Which involved their gain as well as ours.
Nor did we forget that Canada has a great destiny
independent of the Lower Provinces. If the people
of New Brunswick should continue forever in their
present mind, Canada will still continue to grow
and become a great country, There is a straight
and clear course before her. We have only to settle
our local difficulues in an equitable mauner—not a
very difficult matter in the present state of parties
—and proceed to develope the North-west territory,
which we can acquire on not very onerous terms
| The money which would have gone to build the
| Iutereolonial Railway will amply suffice to extin-
| guish the title of the Hudson's Bey Company, and
| to open the territory for settlement. We hoped
j until two days ago that we could have beth. We
| can content ourselves with one if necessary.’

} Tue New AMBASSADOR AT WASHINGTON.—
| The London Times says:—
| The successor of Lord Lyons will be Si:
Frederick Bruce, who at present holds the office
) of Minister in China, but happens opportunely to
be in England. There 18 no reason to doubt that
j in making this selection the government lave had
| ainple regard to the qualifications necessary for
j the office. Sir F. Bruce has greatly distinguished
| himself by his conduct of our troublesome negoti-|
| ations with the court of Pekin. But though Sir
IF. Bruce has not been recently employed m any
| post connected with his new office, he is not en-
| tirely inexperienced in American affairs. His
first employment was when attached to the late |
Lord Ashburton’s special mission to Washington
in 1842, when the famous Ashburton treaty was
|negotiated. Subsequently, for a year, he was |
Lieutenant Geverner of Newfoundland, and from

‘~

ae

| to 1851, he was employed in various posts it |
Four years after this he went
with his brother, Lord Elgin, to China, and bas
since been eutirely employed in that country.”
The Times concludes its notice of the change,
by remarking that the appointment of the new
minister will be an opportune refutation of the

| idea that any underhand recognition of the Con-

federacy was to be made on the 4th of March, by

|} acknowledging Mr. Lincoln as President only of

the States which took part in the election.

Reche delivered an interesting and instructive lec-
“The Planeta.”’ He favored the opinion
propounded by some astronomers, namely, that the

ture on

planets are inhabited by animals similar in all res-
pects to those that iuhabit the earth, and he
adduced a variety of evidence in support of that
opinion. The lecture contained a fund of philoso-
phical knowledge, which was communicated to the
audience with Mr. Roche’s wonted impressiveness
and felicity of expression. On concluding his lec-
ture, as Well as at intervals during its delivery, the
learned gentleman was loudly applauded by an
appreciative audience.

The President of the Institate, Rey. Angus Me-

Hon. James Yeo, came on a den of Bears. The

proceeding to the same spot, to their surprise
they discovered two more Bears, cubs of the old

Holloway’s Pills.—These Pills are more effica-

than any other medicine in the world. Persons
of a nervous habit of body; aud all whe are suffer-
ing from weak digestive organs, or whese health
has become deranged by billious affections, dis-
ordered stomach, or liver complaints, should lose
no time in giving these admirable Vills a fair
trial. Coughs, colds, asthina, or shortness of
breath, are also within the range ofthe Sanative
powers of this very remarkable medicine. The
cures effected by these Pills are not superficial
or temporary, but complete and permanent.
Phey are as mild as they are efficacious, and may
be given with confidence to delicate females aud
young children.

Jupson’s Mountain Herp Piris.— Tow
strange and wonderfnl it often seems to us that a
medicine composed of simple mountain herbs and
roots, should so certainly search out and cure
disease, How surprising that the ludians stould
know and preserve so long and well a secret that
has escaped the search of the greatest physieians
the world has ever seen. True, the aucient im-
habitants of Mexico were a strange race, found
by the Spaniards living in large cities, and, allow-
ing for their strange customs and religion, as well
civilized as their conquerors. In the words of a
writer of some celebrity, “they have perished >
from the earth, their cities are gigantic piles of
ruins; their Kings and Princes, se mighty in
their life, are forgotten; their ruins and their
medicine alone are left.” The united testimony

cessful medicine in the world in curing diseases.
