How glibly these men talk of the aggressions of Britain on diilevent Indian monarehs and their territories, and of Austrian despotism exercised over Hungary aud Italy! Yet the role they denounce in others is just that wich in respeet of Canada and of Mexico they declare their purpose to fulfil. In Mexico, as little fitted as the petty states of India of self-government (although not merece: nary, aggressive, or even troublesome as send- ing out armies of invasion,) there mizht be 'same show of reason for interference, ifa great civilized power had not already undertaken the task. All-Enyland’s recent attacks on Indian princes have been in self-defence—in order to insure from invasion the territories and people already under her gtardianship. Have the United States any such plea of dan zer to render them agyressive.or even minatory towards Ca- nada or Mexico? Do they fear attacks either from one or the cther? Are they afraid to see Monarchical institutions worked side by side with their own? Do they shrink from experi- ment, afraid of this close comparison of the two sets of institutions as likely to result disad- vantazcously to the démocratic system?

ANOTHER IMPORTANT DESPATCH.

j | We find in the Halifax papers of a late date the following important despatch from Mr. Cardwell, the Secretary for the Colonies. Jt clearly indicates that the British Government

will not give very much countenance to &

the*Cylyres remain in their present separate Condition, with conflicting tariffs and conflict- ing Legislatures. The ‘serious difficulty” apprehended may not prove insuperable, inas- wuch as the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 was carried into effect by “separate action of the various Pyovincial Legislatures.” However, the British Government seems determined that the Colonies shall not much longer remain de- pendent upon the Mother Conntry— that they must be confederated, if possible; if not, they will be entirely thrown upon their own resour- ces. The issue then will be — Confederation In the present condition of the neizhboring Republic, we cannot conceive a more terrible calamity than thet of annexation. the despatch referred to.

j allowed it to die a natural death, and hastened

.| some deduction from this estimate, and to set | down the annaal ineome of the Government |from taxes of all kinds at something like | $455, 600, 000—say 15 per head of the total population. Tu nrany ‘localities as much more is paid for city, county, and State taxes. That taxation to this extentis oppressive, is obvious. | It is heavier than is borne by any other people jin the world. That it has been borne patiently lis wonderful, and proves the law-abiding char- acter of the people of the United States. Put | it Goes not follow that *it will be so always. Durhrz the year 1865 people's minds have been so fall of the all-enzrossinz tonic of the restor- ation of peace, that no leisure has been aTorded for the consideration of fiscal matters. Pros- perity, real or fictitious, has been so general j that the bardeus that in ordinary times woukt | have been intolerable, have been endured with- out a murnwr. This: will not last. The war aud peace excitement is passing away. The exciting prosnerity, aad the present hizh wages of labor are dependent on the larze volume of paner money afloats: when that comes to be reduced labor will fall, and we shall azain taste ‘hard times.”

Now the whole debt of Canada is only about $25 per head of our population. For the sake of arrument we will suppose that the people of Canada are less rich by one-sixth than the averaze of the whole people of the United States, which is assuming far too much. Then we should be forced to pry, if annexed, $12.50 per annum per head of Federal taxes, and should pay in two years into the Federal Treasury as much as could pay off our whole Provincial debt! What vossible gain could compensa‘e us for this? © Under that weizht of

taxation Canada would seon he depopulated, its people crowding into, the richer lands and | more genial climate of other parts of the con- jtinent.

peared in our columns from Wm. Cooper, Esqr, fyvouring Confederation, as the first step, in kis opinion, to political union with the United States. The Bulletin is scandalised that we did not “counteract” “by # single editorial remark’? “the pernicious tendency of such scribbling.” Well, we have yet to learn that it is the duty of an editor to combat every new or wild opinion that may be advanced by a cor- respondent. For many years we have been in the practice of publishing the communications of our venerable friend at Sailor's Hope, ond although we often dissented from his views we never thouzht it necessary to couple the pub- lication of his letters with an expression of our ‘dissent. If the letter, lately published, which has given such horror to the Bulletin, had been written by an unknown hand, we should have seriously hesitated about publishing it; but every body knows Mr. Cooper, at Sailor's Hope, and ready to make every allowance for him. If his namesake of the Bulletin really wants to get a little yi zorous exercise for his loyal wrath, let him turn his attention to two or three papers, that need not be named, in this City, throuch whose columns their editors are, from week to week, infusing the poison of annexation in the shape of gleanings from other journals.

Scnpay Macazixe.—We have received from the Publishing House of Messrs. Strahan & Ce., of Montréal, an elezantly bound volume of large octavo, being a copy of the Rey. Dr. Guthrie's Sunday Magazine for 1865, and since then a copy of the Monthly No. of the same work.

Tue Nortn Britisn Review, for October, has just come to hand. Tt contains the follow. ing articles:—Cathedrals of Enzland, the Mariner’s Compass; the Resources, Condition and Prospects of Italy; the Poetry of Praed and Lord Houghton; Blind People; Field Sports of the Ancient Greeks and Romans; the Gallican Church; the Rassians in Central Asia. We refer our readers to the advertisement in another column for the terms on which the North British, and the other Eagtish Reviews lare furnished by the enterprising publishers, | Leonard Scott & Co.

A Great Mistake. —In the letter of the Hon. Mr. Warbuiton, published in the Exant- xex of the tath wit., on the cultivation of Flax, the honorable gentleman was made to say, when speaking about seeking for information on the subject :——-“ T consequently wrote to my father-in-law, who has one of the largest ma- nufuctories in Ireland, at Roserea,” &e.

Tue Mats.s.—The route for the Winter Mails appears to be now in good travelling condition, and the Couriers pass backward and forward with their accustomed regularity. No less than three Mails were received during the past week, furnishing us with immense fyles of papers, from which we have made many selec- tions that will be read with interest.

from the great merits of this performance), been in collusion with some ofher Poct beyoud the precincts of the Printing Office; and we might be inclined to think that he has hada “lift” from the prolific pen of the “Island Pard,”’ only we know how prudently that great writer treasures the productions of his genius for the purposes of traffic. The “ Bard” has just now favoured the publie with some of his usually exquisite versification.
