True it is that! after the indulgence — nav, almost the en. eourazement — which Mr. Johnson's govern- me .t bestowed upon the Fenian ravagers of Oanada and invaders of Ireland, we did not meed anything to furvish us with an effective su guogque against the United States hy which to meet their ckarges of failure to maiutain neutrality.

The only means of averting such a peril is to render it plain from the first what the consequences of such conduct wopld be; and for this reason it may he of great eonse- quence at this junctyre that the publie opinion of England should be firmly declared pn the points raised by Mr, Sumner’s speech, The Americans may be assured that Enylishmen would be pnanimous ip refusing 80 much as to e tertain such demands. We ean well under- stand that they are purposely put in their most extravagant form, on the plan of asking more than you expect to obtain Bat it isthe prin- |ciple of the demands to which we must refuse to listen. They invelve nothing less than a claim that the Americans shall be judges in their own cause ; that they shall be the arbiters of international right and wrong whenever it affects themselves. We never pretended to please the Americans in this matter. We en- deavored to do whatever was just between them, our own people and the other nations of the world. We refuse tc compromise our honor by admitting that we were actuated by any other motive. Whether or not we were eulpably negligent in performing what we be- lieve to have been our duty is a point we have But further we cannot go, and could not but regard any attempts to force us beyond this point as a elonk for ulterior designs. After all, however, we return to our conviction that,‘unless there he a settled design to pick a quarrel with us —which there certainly is not'on the part of the American people—Mr. Sumner s policy ia too preposterous to be entertained. The at- tempt to reawaken buried animosities is, in deed. little short of criminal; but the extravagant misrepresentations found neces sary for that purpose afford us no small assurance of the destined failure of the ‘attempt.

Wall street is usually better informed than tne not over intelligent London agent of the Associated Presse Bat the n>wepaper press were for the moment agitated ag well as enlightened, and song Qpiniong worth nothing were thrown to the surface. The possibility of such an alliance was probably seen to exist ; and with it was as evidently felt the overshadowing of & great danger to the United States. Mr. Sumner was now viewed ag a mischief-maker. For the sake of airing his oratory, he had diszusted the friends of his country in Britein

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES,

If we judge from the movement of Ameri- ean capitalists, and the subdued tone of the New York and Boston papa, there does net uppeas to be any apprehensicn of ap imme- diate war between Great Britain and our neighboring Republic, We read that Joho C. Fremont bas gone to England to negotiate @ loan for a Western Railroad, and Mr Geo Waiker, President of the Springtie!d (Mugs. ) Bank, bas aso gone thither, jn company wuh Mr Motley, (the new Minicter to the Court of St, James ) for the purpose of negotiating a Massachusetts S:are Loan.

The New York Jcurnal of Commerce re- cently ppinted put tie d:ficulty of taking Cuby ag it would inyolve a war, which tie United States couid not afford to go into. The Boston Journal, looked upon as Mr. Summer’e organ, is retuer subdued in tone, since the criticiga of h.« speech by the London prees and the reported siliance of England, France and Spaip.

The islinds might prohably be defensible, thouzh in some instances they might net be exposed to da*ger; and perhaps it mizht be impossible to hold Nova Scotia. Vancouver's Island and British Columbia are within easy reach of San Frauciaco, which will in a few weeks be con- nected with the Atlanti¢ ports by railroad. It would be impossible to offer any resistance on the Pacific seaboard ; ard the on!y question as to the principal part of the Dominion would felate to the disposition of the colonies them selves. If their undoubted repngnance to an- nexation were strong enough to induce them to defend their jndependence with vigour, it would be the plain duty of England to devote al! ger resources to their aid. It is true thata population of four millions, supported by all the available force which could be detatched from England, must ultimately succumb to the py us effort of an enemy numbering thirty-five milliors ; but it is doubtful whether the American people would persist in a pro figate enterprise when it became fully evident that suceess was only to be obtained by eon. quest. In the war with the Southern confed ersey the national conscience was satistied at first with the duty of preserving national onity, and afterwards with the emancipation of the nezroes; but an invasion of Canada must he ecnsciously undertaken in the exclusive »ursuit of reveng> and ambition. Ametican statesmen would probably soquer or later reflect on the inconvenience of having an injured and dis affected race at the northern as wel! as at the suathern extremity of the federal territories.

There cannot be the least doubt that the French Court is, at heart, hostile to the United States.

On the whole, the C.ble flurry has done good It has enabled the American people to realise the possible and ‘even probable eff-cts of reckiess denunciation and still more reckless schemes of terri,omal aggrandis: ment. At length they see that there is a limit to the forbearance of osher nations that their *‘manifest destiny ’’ may be dispated, that the Alabama claims would have been con- ceded where found just, but eannot be pre gented succ ssfully with threats ae the alternative of non submission to gigan- tic extortion.

Mr Grawr,—On reading the appropriations for the Reade of Prinee County, [ pereeive that on the whole they are libera) enough; yet in some places, mostly needing the expenditure of money, the reada have been entirely overlobked—the Main Western Road, across Lot 14, fer instance. This ia the third year that this pieee of a rand bas beeg neglected, with the egeeption of a pal- try su of eight pounds whieh appeared to be quite inadequate ta repair eight chaina of it. ‘This is one of the principal thoroughfares of the Island, and one of the most grossly and shame- fully Negieeted th tHe Opel ae par) 28 are portions of it aluest impussibie for carriages aud other vehicles.

P S.—I wrote two communications for the prees these two years past, on the bad state of the above read without taking effect on the modern Solons and Lycurgesus of the day. Thia is wy third one, which 1 hope will prove effective, as by ecular demonstration the Superintendent cau see the urgent necessity of taking immediate action in the repairs of the road, aud likewise the Bridge at the head of Trout River (Let 14) which is in @ gery delapidated state and may soon cause the destruction of sume — wight

travelling thereon at night. J,H F. Oo To THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER. Dear Sir.

We were awakened from our lethergy up here on Friday last by the arrival of the steamer Princess of Waleg from Pietou. She tock ua q' ite by surprise, a8 all notion of her coming at all, had taken possession ef the minds of the teat hopeful, She did not haul up to the Break- water, for what reason we are ieft to imagine. She had on board a few passengers, but little or no treight, due prebably Ca the uncertainty ta which shippers were left as to whether she would tevueh here or not. A beat landed the passengers, and the steamer immediately took her departure Quite a prefusien ef bunting was displayed frow flag-poles erected in d fferent parts of the town. Lf we are to have a eteamer here for the season, it is to be hoped that she will give more satisfaction than the ove on the same reate last suaimer.

The weather has deen miserably cold and rainy in this part of the country so far, and as a naterai consequence farming operations are In a very backward state.. There is very little shipping in this port just now, and I suppose there will not be much stir till the mackeral fleet comes out
