POETRY.

THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY'S LEG. The London Notes and Queries bas resuscitated the following clever verses, which appeared soun

| after the Battie of Waterloo, ia which the Ma.*

quia lost a leg. They are eupposed to have bee: written by the Right Hon. George Canning:—

flere rests—and let no saucy kuave Presume to sneer or langh,

To leur tbat mould'ring in the grave ‘Lhere lies—a Br'tish ealf.

For he who writes these lines is sure That those who read the whole

Will find that laugh was prematare, For here, too, lies a sole.

And here five little ovues repose, Twin born with other five; Unheeded by their brother toes,

Who all are now alive.

A leg and foot, to speak more plain, Lie here of one commaniing;

Who, though he might his wits retain, Lost balf his understanding.

Aud when the guns with thunder bright, Poured bullets thick as huil,

Could only in this way be taught To give the foe ley buil.

And now in England, just as gay As in the buttle brave,

Goes to the rout, the ball, the play, With one leg in the grave.

Fortune in vain has showed her spite, For he will still be found,

Should England's sous engage in fight, Resolved to stand his ground:

But Fortune's pardon I must beg, She meaut not to disarm;

And when she lopped the hero's leg, She did not seek his h’urm.

And but indulged a harmless whim, Since he could walk with one; She saw two legs were lost on him,

Who never me ant to 1un,

(From the London Examiner.)

This question of military aid to Canada our press bas diseussed, and the aim of British journalists has been to impr+ss upon the Casadians the necessity of sel!-exertion aud of being prepared for miluary delenve. Carried away by the usual over-tmpulse of the ready writer, who must be quick and desires also to be emphatic, many a man has gone beyond the mark, and iustead of ersuading tte Canadian8 to get ready to receive invaders, has helped to make them suspect a ¢:Wardly intention oo our part to shrink out of the quarrel, aad, in ease o! tneir being invaded by the Awericans, to} leave them to their fate, The policy of Kyg'and in the Danish quarrel, aud the Opinion with which we have covered and comforted our abstinence from war, have come to corroborate the suspicion of the Canadas. They, as well as the continent, heyin to thiuk with the Charivart that the British lion is a stuffed one. |

The Canadian leadeis have therefore met, and the corre-pondence from Quebec no doubt truly represents them ag about to form

“This prospect, which the British Go- vernment is in a condition to appreciate, has contributed largely to change the pub- lic mind on the value of Colonial possessions, aud it is certainly one of the motives which leads it to desire and favor the formation of a British federation of States scattered in the A:lantic ocean.” aetna dn el HON.

CONSTILUENTS AT SUERBROKE.

A week ago yesterttay a dinner was given to Mr, Gait oy his constituents at Sher- broke, on which occasion he addressed them on the Contederation Scheme. We make the following extract from his speech, as re- ported ia the Toronot Leader :—

‘To show how great were the interests involved in union, he would give them a statewent of the trade of the Colonies for the year 1863. The imports and exports of Canada in that year amounted in value to $83 000 00U; of New Brunswick to $16.- 700,000; of Nova Scotia to $18,500,000; of Prinee Edward Island to $3,000,000 ; otf Newfoundland to $11.250,000,— being a ‘otal of $137,000,000. The tonnage of the Provinces was about 12,000,000 tons In commercial iaiportanee, therelore, they wou d form the third or fourth power in the world, even without the Islands, Comiug ucxt to the financial position of Canada, he said that the total debenture debt was $65,- 250,000, und other liabilities raised it to $75,500,000, but the inking fund, cash balances, &e., reduced it to about $67 500,- Of this, five millions required to be

termine, with an approximation to correct- hess, what wili be our status for one hundred years to come, should we remain as we are, detached, separate, politically unconnected with the rest of the world. Our population, our commerce, our wealth and resources, will keep upon a scale commensurate with our geograyhieul boundaries. Of this fact we may rest assured, seeing that it has the sony and indeed is the result, of a naturv'l aw.

Bat change the base, blot out the present line of demureation, begin anew on a grander scale. Run up a coast line of unbroke length, extending from the mouth of the St. Juhn River, sweeping around, and enclosing New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, taking within it thé country on both sides of the St. Lawrence, and stretching away across the continent, till it touches the shores of the mighty Pacific. Then say within yourself this is my coun- try, and within it there is elbow room fur enterprise and expansion. Then und not till then, would the minds of its people expand to dimensionsin keeping with their territorial area. Small jealousies would die out for the want of nourishment. Every thing would be measured according to a national scale— and towns and cities would take their places according to their relative advantages of geographical position.

We believe it would be the beginning of public improvements, of great public worke, of national and individual enterprise apon a scale which, at present, we bave but a very imperfect comprehension. It would add im- mensely to our wealth, our resources, our power, and our national safety. We would then draw towards usa stream of immigra- tion, because there would be a large demand and a liberal recompense for the labour of the immigrant. And while we would de- rive, we would at the same time confer, ad- vantages. ‘The sacrifices we would make would be peity and local; these we woald acquire would be broad and deep, pérmetting and vitalising every class and department of society.
