Tue news received hy the Atlantic Tele- ¢raph, via New York, duving the past week, is not of great importance.

The following authorized statement of facts and cireumstances, from the Halifax Colouést, will be read with interest.

«“ We are authorized to state that on the ar- rival of the *Cuba’ inthe Mersey, a tele sram was received from the Rizht Honorable, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Seexttary of State for the Colonies, inquiring the names ot the Dele Lutes 4 and that, on Saturday, they received at Liverpool information that His Lordship would receive them at 3 op. m., on Monday the 50th. At the interview, which took place atthe Colo- nial Office on that day, the Seerctary of State, after discussing the whole subject fully with the Delegates, expressed his great regret that the Deleration bad net been accommanied by the representatives of the Canadian Government, and that His Lordship stated that he would at once send a telegram by the Cable to Lord Moneck, to ascertain, whether they were ou hoard tle Canadian steamer about to arrive, before deciding that it would be impossible to pass the required Imperial Act during the pue- seut Session. On the 3lst Earl Carnarvon im formed the Delegates that as he had. received no reply to his tele sram to the Governor Gene ral. and that as there was no intellivence of the Canadian Delegates having passed Loudouder- rv, he would be compelled to abandon thy hope of taking action the present Session on the subject of Confederation, and would have to reply to that effect inthe House of Lords on that evening, where the Delegates were invited to be present. Lord Lyveden, in asking the in- tentions of the Government, expressed the opinion that ona question of such Hnpoytance Parliament would he disposed to act even at the close of the Session.

* The Rarl of Carnarvon explained that the absence of the Canadian Delegates would pre- vent che taking immediate action, but) stated that he expected them to arrive immediately, and that the haperial Government would at once arranse the whole matter with the Dele- from the Provinces. The Marquis of Normanby stated that there were opponents to the measure in Nova Scotia, but he said ‘1 do not concur in their views, for T think that the Uniou of the North American Colonies is es- seutially necessary.’ ;

“We vive below the report of the debate in the House of Lords, and the comments of the Times thereon. Lord Derby had previously re- ferred to the proposed Confederation in the House of Lords in terms of the warmest appro- val. The Colonial Seeretary had, immediately on assuming office, sent a despatch to Lord Monek, expressing his desive that the represen- tutives of the Colonies should lose no time in perfecting the requisite arrangements; and there is no doubt but that, at an carly day, this zreat question will he so matured by the Dele sates from the Provinces and the Imperial Government, as to beeome law immediately after the next meeting of the Tmperial Parlia- ment. Throughout) Great Britain all look upon this measure as not ouly fraught with the

fates

hizhest advantage to the Colouies, but as bem |

essential to the preservation to the Crown of one of the brightest jewels of the Empire. The Delevates will now have ample time to review carefully all the details of this important work, and, we trust, will be enabled to arrive at con- clusions which will reader it not only eminently successful to promote the advancement of the Colonies, but also render it hizhly popular with all classes of the people. There can now be ne room to doubt the: early and final eonsum- mation of this wendertul advance in the posi- tion of British North America, which, wader the fosterins care of the Imperial Government, will doubtless expand into a prosperous aud powertul couutry,

FENIANISM IN) THE

STATES.

Sweeney's plan for the next Fenian raid is thus given in the Montveal Gazelle of the Lith instant :—

“We have it from reliable authority that, on Friday last, Sweeney and a number of other persons were holding a conversation at St. Al- ban’s—Governor Smith of Vermont was pre- sent--when Sweeney remarked that if influence could be brought to bear on President Johnson so that the arms and ammunition scized by the U.S. Goverument should be given up to the Fenian organization, and if no further arrests were made, they would take Canada before the eold weather arrived. Sweeney also went on to say, that if they did not succeed with President Jobuson, there would be uo raid this Fall, but they knew the Republican party were all in their favour—that the first raid was only a fen to tev what force the Canachan Government could bring azainst them. Ht is so far snecess- ful, as it showed that the available foree of menoon the Canudian side was below what was stated. The arms which had Deen scized had
