    desirable and very useful staple of husbandry
    namely, Flax. IT have seen some time ago in the
    © lumus of the public press, that Mr. Aldous has
    taken a prominent part and a leading tuterest tu
    this subject,—issuing circulars to ascertain th
    number or acres that may be brought under cul-
    tivation of the same, iu order to enable him te
    form an estimate about establishing w flax manu-

    FOREIGN SUMMARY.

    Russia parsaes with energy hérattacks on the
    Polish natioualitv. [aa letter from, Warsaw it
    his stated that the Government of Poland is aow
    lactively destroying the last traees of national
    linstitutions whith remained in the Congress
    | Kingdom after the insurrection: even the Po-
    lish lancuase is prohibited, and has been every-
    where replaced by the Russian.

    The King of Prussia has received a letter of
    a very friend!y tenor from the Emperor of
    Russia, who assures the formerthat he is favor-
    to the new organization of Germany.
    vervthing betokens that Prussia will be allowed
    to strensthen her position in Geritany, and that
    she will become a potent and dominant Power
    in Kurope, ta which evyea France may become

    abe

    secondary.

    The King of Prussia, accompanied by his son,
    the Crown Prince, and by Prince Frederick
    Charles, atféaded by Count Bismarck and most
    of the Generals who won his late battles, was,
    is might be expected, received with wild. en-
    | thastasia by the ple of Berlin, who were

    ption to the victorious mon
    arch who bas imade Berlin the capital of Ger
    inany, the scene is desevibed as the delirium of
    delight. Even Bismarek, girt with sword,
    thourh his fighting as far as the world has
    heard, has beea confined to drazooning the
    Prussian House of Commons, was cheered to
    the echo by the populace which but eight weeks
    avo was ready to tear him ine pieces, but now
    oardous his wsolent despotism at bome in con-
    | sideration ofthe success that has* attended his
    asevession in Germany by which Prussia is

    vive a cordial rece

    mavnified into a power greatereveu than France.

    The convention for the armistice concluded
    between the Italian and Austrian Governments,
    has beea published. Thoagh the Archduke
    Albert refused to sanction certain conditions
    affecting the inhabitants of the Trent, which
    had been submitted to the Austrian compris
    sioners by Gen. Petetti, an understanding was
    arrived at, that each party would act indulyenut
    ly towards the other, and Austria would not
    levy auy forcecd loan or taxes. ‘The armistice,
    which commenced on the 13th inst.. will last
    till the Mth of September. Ten days’ notice of

    that the basis of their commerce will be en-
    larged, their interests. promoted, aud their se-
    curity immensely increased, by imitating to
    some exteut the example setthemin America,
    aud, while preserving their own local govern-
    ment and laws, joining together in defence
    against attacks which may threaten them from
    outside, and in all sach measures as will be
    mutualiy profitable to them. The threatened
    Fenian invasion this year served to show in-
    e-dentally the soundaess. of these conclusions.
    The colonists did practically unite together in
    providing themselves with means of protection.
    Then the Reciprocity Treaty with the United
    States was abrowdted, and the people saw tint
    by Confederation they would open up a new
    market not Jess valuable than that which was
    just closed ty them by the illiberality of Ame-
    rican Protectionists. The two Canadas, with
    two millious and a half of population, had long
    been in favorol Union. Nova Scotia, with her
    351,008 people, was against it: so were New-
    foundiand avd Prince Edward Island. But
    lust session the Levislature of Nova Scotia,
    impressed by the circumstances | w hich had
    lately oceurred, gave a glad assent to the pro-
    yn sal for Confederation, and now a remnant of
    the inhabitants protest against the action of
    their represcutatives. The dissatisfied class
    say that the Levislature did not represent the

    plenty Of time for discussion upon the mea-
    sure; itanay net have been announced in the
    Governor's speech, but it was matter of noto-
    ricty that it would be brought forward. The
    fact was even stated plainly in our correspon.
    dence from Canada last March. Jt és fdle,
    therefore, lo pretend that the Nova Neoliaus
    were taken by surpwise. They have had noth-
    ing else to talk about for several years past ex-
    cept this oue measure, and althoush they ave
    sometimes called * benighted,” their repre-
    sentatives Cannot persuade us to believe that
    they were ina state of winter torpor, or hyber-
    nation, When the Coufederation scheme was
    brought forward.

    The reasous for and against Confederation
    do not need a lous colonial experience to reu-
    der them intelligible. More than four-fifths of
    the people of our North American Colouies are
    couvinecd that their best interests would be
    vreatly strengthened by entering into a liberal
    maurtnership with each other, The remaining
    fifth thinks it cau do better itlone. For some
    years its Opposition has put an end to the whole
    plan: but suppose the Government tell the ob
    jJectors that they may stand out of the partner-
    ship if they please, only they shall no longer
    precent others from entering it? Would the
    Nova Scotiaus have any right to complain thes”?
    As their ncighbours in the United States would
    tell them, they would “leave themselves out in
    the cokl,” and we believe they would soon see
    their folly in refusing the beaefits which union
    vives to every people. Nora Scotia ought not
