for another. h_e_hollIe heart goes across the broad Atlantic. or doubles the Cape with the sons, mothers or sisters that have wandered thither; the home affection rises ran the ashes of the hearth of mere national- ity. Then trade and commerce gradually follow the stream of moving human life.

the great forests draw around them parasi-

wants and appctites—the preponderance first, the equilibrium afterwards, of affection and population to the old country is over- come; and we see that in Ireland cheap land and high _wages fail to arrest the mi- gratory instincts, or the new convictions of .the people. At last they even prefer poorer fare in the new region of their fancy, to improved conditions in the country of their

birth. Perhaps the facts we see around us .

now account for the mystei-_ious decay of great nations. A hankering after ‘untried

gestions of self interest utterly fail to arrest the desire for change. It cannot be'that labour should go, and that capital, enter- prise and ability, or skill, should remain behind. The brain worker must have his toolso Thclnerchant must follow his cus- tomers. The seller must go where buyers have money. Where the carcasc is there will the eagles be gathered. We are, in this old world and this old country, in a state just now of most critical transition. ,_ Following on free trade, emigration and the Pactolus streams which have flowed in upon nrope from the West and South, have arisen a serious of strikes of the most exten- sive description, and ominously protracted duration. These do not betray any symp- toms of subsidence or exhaustion. In fact, we must expect them to grow and strength- en. s most universally abundant harvest ever known to the furthest reach of univer- sal history has not only been grown but garnered; and with bread cheap, and capi- talset at liberty for commercial purposes, lit is quite obvious that the working man can at once live upon less and exact more; the great conditions of scarcity in the supply of labour and consequent increase of it price. ‘It will require a steady hand and awise head to bear this overflowing cup steadily to the lips. Nothing but the sagacity of the labourer can save him from the great injury of all other classes, and the ruin of his own. The significant fact is before us, that one of the best remunerated and lar est bodies of workers in this king- dom re nse to toil for more than a sixth part of the day—_-that as yet they have contrived to rule their employers, and enormously tax the public—and that in -reference to a great necessary of life for which the pre- sent consumption is Materially contracted by the season, they manage to increase the — price. What it will be in winter, is an an- - xioirs consideration to the-community. It is not to be concealed that the poor are chiefly interested in moderating an excess in the w es of labor. For every shilling more pal to the worker the consumer has to pay at least cighteenpence. An advance in wages in one direction is e ualised ulti- mately by an increase in anot or. If the collier charges more for heating the baker’s "oven, or for the fuel of the flour-mill steam- engine, the baker must have more for his bread. If the farmer gets high prices for his cattle, or the grazier for his wool, he has to pay more for the leather of his shoes , and harness, and an advance to the‘tailcr and hoeier on his clothes. At first sight, indeed, this seems to result merely in a the- o of compensation. But under a system free trade‘ its and must bd the ruin of trade. Our chief, indeed our sole depend- ence for progress, for existence as a nation, is on'our foreign trade.

Maciiinics cs. S-wuss-rs.—“ I was ac- quiaint during the latter years in which I

wrought as a mason, with a good many uni-

versity lads; andl some times could not avoid

comparing them in my mind with working

men, of, as nearly as I could guess, the

some original calibre. I did not always find that general superiority on the side of the scholar, which the scholar himself usu- ally took for granted. What be specially studied he knew, save in rare and except- ionalcnses, better than the working man;

but while the student had been mastering his Greek and Latin, ‘and expatinting in N atural Philosolphy and Mathematics, the

working man, i_ 0 an enquiring mind, had been doing something else; and it is at least a fact, that all the great readers of my ac- quaintance at this time, the men most exten- sively acquainted with English literature,

were not the men who had received a clas- sical education. On the other hand, in framing an argument, the advantage lay with the scholars. In that common sense, which reasons but does not argue‘, and which en- ables men to pick their stepping prudently through the journey oflife, I found that the classical education gave no superiority

whatever .* nor did it appear to form so tit- ting an introduction to the realities of busi- ness as that course of dealing with things tangible and actual in which the working man has to exercise his faculties, and from which he derives his experience. One cause of the over-law estimate which the clasical scholar so often forms of that class of peopl to which our skilled mechanics be- long, arises very much from the forwardness- of a set ofblockheads, who are always sure to obtrude themselves upon his notice, and who come to _be rgarded by him as an average spccelnin of his order. I never knew an intelligent mechanic obstructive.- Hugh .U'tIl¢r.

Miniiiau soussr ins Wii.i..—Sir Wsllor Scott used to relate the following anecdote:— " My cousin Watty. " said he, “ was a mid- shipman some forty years ago at Portsmouth ; he pnd two other companions had gone on shore and overstaid their leave, spent all their mono and run up an immense bill at a tavern on the oint. The shi made a signal for sailing, but the land- lady as d:— " No, gentlemen you cannot escape without sying your reckoning,” and she accom snied her words b appropriate actions, and place them under the keeping of e suficiciit number of balitfs. _ They felt they. were in a scraps, and begged to be released. " No, no,” said Mrs. Qaiellly. " I must be sa- tisfied some way or other; you must be aware. gentlemen, that you must be totally ruined if you \lcn’t get on in ‘ms. ” I They all made long faces and confessed that it

was true.

-"Well," said she. " I'll give you a chance. I am so ciroumstancsd bore thatl cannot carry on business as a single woman, and I must contrive somehow to have a husband, or at all events, I must be able to produce a marrls e certitloate, and therefore the only terms on w lob you shall have leave to go on board to marrow is, that one of yoaconeeut to marry me ; I don't care a me which it is, but b a I that's good, one of you willlisve or,else l three go to jail, and let your ships sail without you.”

NEIV BRUNSWICK. From the Church Witness.

Americans are making great preparations to take advantage of the right of fishing in Colonial waters, conceded to them by the Imperial authorities under the Reciprocity Treaty. and "considerable dissatisfaction is exhibited both in this Province and Nova Sootia. that the tariff‘ laws of the United States had not, at the same time, n suspended by the American tive. t seems however that the legislation of the Un' ed States has been made dependent entirely upon the action of the Colonial Legislatures. and that therefore the gcvernmenbie powerless until such action is taken. Canada has accepted the treaty, and passed the necessary laws, and New runs-

wick no doubt will follow her example.

It was written in consequence vessels having arrived in Now

Treasury Department, Seplqnbcr 19, I854.

sIR—TilO filth article of the reciprocit treaty with Great Britain provides that “ the present treaty shall take eflect as soon as the laws required to carry it into a ration shall have been passed by the imperial rliament of Great Britain and by the Provincial Parliaments of those of the British orth meriosn colonies which are affected by this treaty on the one hand, and the United States on the other ;" and the sixth article provides the treaty shall not embrace Newfound- land, until the Provincial Parliament of the colony of Newfoundland and the Congress of the United States shall pass laws to that effect.

It is understood that the Inn rial Parliament and the Congress of the United tates have paced the necessary laws to carry the treaty into effect, including Newfoundland ; but that the parliaments of none of the British North American colonies have as yet acted upon the sub" t, and some of them will not be in session for several months.

The navigation of the St. Lawrence and the

hshcries, being considered lm rial rights, have

been conceded to the Unite States by Great Britain in advance of the proper legislation by the colonies; but that has no elfcct upon the tariff‘ of the colonies, which can only be taken awn their legislation, and the legislation of the oiled States has lltede do t upon .tbeir ae- ' The tarifl’ laws wil , therefore, be in force, as though the treaty had not been made. until the British colonies sbsll legislate upon the subject, in accordance with the provisions of the treaty. Their legislation will of nouns, be communicated to the government of the United States, and when eocummunicated will be made publie, and the proper notice given auto cessation of duties. I am, respectfully. Janna Gnrusis, eoreisry of the Treasury.

The Royal Mail Stdumer Merlin. from St. John's Newfoundland, arrived yeshrday fore- noon. The most important item of news is the straadin -of the new screw steamer Oily PIu'lnd¢ '. Capt.

is our observations on this and all other public acts of the Government, we must be ful- I understood as not incul ting the Lieut. vernor, nor intending th: least personal disre ct. He follows and is, we admit, bound to folldw the advice given him by his Executive Council, and had his predecessor, Sir Alexan- der Bannerman persevered in the same consti- tutional course, we should have iven him the praise due to his consistency. he speech of the Lt. Governor we shall continue to consider as that of the Administration. second cause assigned for calling the Legislature at this particular time is to provide the mean “ by which the Government of this Island will be placed in ii position to maintain the supre- mac of the law, and to preserve internal tran- 'quiliity under all circumstances.” We can hardly venture an opinion as to what will be the method proposed to meet a contingency produced by the factions conduct of those members of the Legislature who, dead to all the feelings of honor, and res t to the constitu- tion, and actuated only by the desire to embar- ssan Administration, the crowning sin of which was, that no part of the public money was set apart for them individua l , threw out a bill, which if passed, would have had the efllect of keeping the detachment still here. There will now be no pretence, we should hope, of saddling the town of Charlottetown, with the whole or with indeed any part 0 the ex- pense. It was argued that if the soldiers were retained by reason of that bill, the benefit derived to the people of Charlottetown by their continuance was such as to make it but fair that they should bear the cost of the customs- tion of a lice force. Whateter plausibility there mig t have been in the argument then, is of no consequence now. The troops have been withdrawn, and not onl does' Charlotte- town feel the loss,but in Ii e manner those rts of the country which were in the habit of supplying the wants of the garrison. In fact the whole Island will partic pate in the loss for £l0.000 or £12,000 which was expend- ed by the military and those connected with it, was one of the most rotltablo additions to the exports that could ima 'ned. One made without risk, and consequent y free from the char s of Insurance, Freight. Brokerage, ., for t ongh the articles were used and consumed here, they were paid for from abroad,and was, so far as respects the island in It commercial ppint ofview, the same thin as if they had an exported to London an id for there. But what cared the Hon. 0 ce-hunters for this? Of what consequence were the interests of commerce to them! The had their own interests to look after, and 0 course gave those the preference. In what manner the loss of the regular troops is to be supplied, is as yet a myster , an dcsignedly, so we suspect. There are some thin that, like committing suicide, will not admit of reflection, and the less that it is than ht of then the better. When, however, the tixgure that it makes in the appropriation bill comes to be looked at by the unfortunate wi hts out of whose kets it tocoinc, and w on that is adds to the loss occasioned by the withdrawal of the troops, it will not be matter of rolleotion but of that there should be a body of men invested with the power of thus indirectly and uncon- stitutionall taxin them to solar an amount, and solely or the fiirthcrance of air own sel- tlshYparposes. We shall. however, wait, on she not fail to give the ublio a full and true account of the matter. are is no fear but that whatever the measure is, and however hard it may bear upon the poo le. it will be carried. any opposition to it w ll be labo in vain. Mooney s boast is elsetually silo the rest are too well b master's will.
