There 1s yet no intelligence of the Niagara at Malifax. The wires beyond Calais were out of | order last evening. Canadian Affairs—Annexation federacy. Affairs in Canada are certainly becoming serious and threatening. The rupture between the ultra-loyalists, or British party, and the mother country, is complete. The last card has been played, and the very loyal Britons, when in power, and the very unloyal, when out of power, are about, | evidently, todo scmething—either to declare for annexation, or for a confederacy of all the British North American possessions. There is a great mistake committed by the peo- ple of the United States, when they say that the present condition of Canada and the present feel- | ings of the Bntish party there, have been produced | by the moral influence of American institutions, and by the contrast which the American republic | presents to Canada. The masses of the loyal party | are profoundly jgnorant of the United States, as | well as of our institutions. The whole matter lies | i | | and-Con= ip a nutshell. The British party have, until lately, always controlled the polities of the two provinces, and always enjoyed the offices and emoluments, to the exclusion of the French. By a lucky turn, the | French got the ascendancy, and that was gall and wormwood to the Britons. The idea of their being | ruled by the French was abhorrent to them, and they tried every expedient to again get into power. ‘The rebellion indemmity bill was a ministerial mea- sure; if the British party could prevail on the Governor General to veto it, that would be a vie- tory over the French. They tried every means to accomplish it, but failed. After the bill was allowed, | they despatched petitions to England for a simi- lar purpose. They were disregarded, and their spe- cial messengers eent about their business. Mean- while, threats of annexation to the United States were uttered publicly, and on the fourth of July the American flag was hoisted at several conspi- cuous places in Canada. There always has been a party in Canada in fa- vor of incorporating it with the United States. It ‘was composed principally of commercial men; but none of the British, or loyalist, party were connected with it. The British party would remain loyal to the end of time, if they could always be in power, and could always contro! the French; but finding that they cannot do 0, they turn round and assert their desire to be clear of British rale, and to join the United States. The reason of this is obvious. Upper Canada has always been ruled by the so- called “family compact,” composed of such men as McNab, Col. Prince, Mr. Ridout, and others. If Upper Canada were a State of this Union, these men would stil! control it; and the offices, from the governorship, down to the meanest tide-waitership, would be at their dispersal. They would be still in the aecendant; and what is almest as important, would be relieved of French domination; for be- tween the two races, there is as violent hostility as ever existed between two people since the creation of the world. They cannot agree together, and mever will; and now that the British government has determined not to sustain the British party, a separation between them and the French must take place at an early day. Time only can tell in what form this separation will be made. The Jeaders of the British party talk loudly of accom- plishing it by annexation to the United States, while others are disposed to a confederacy of all the Briteh North American possessions. The latter plan would enable the “family compact” to rule Upper Canada as of old, and relieve them as effectually of French rale as annexation to the United States would. This, however, will not s the leaders; for their vanity has been wounded, and their professions of ultra-loyalty disregarded It will be seen, therefore, that the influe ol ovr institutions has not had any effect in bringing about the state in which Canada now is. Those who now cry so lustily for annexation, would be the first to put down any attempt at revolution, if they were in power, and the first to rush to arms in cace of any difficulty between the United States and Great Britain; and notwithstanding all their threats, it is net certain, even yet, whether they will declare for that method of getting rid of or French domination and possession of power, for a confederacy of all British America. Ever thing will depend on the action of the Brit League, which represents discontents ia Upper and Lower Canada. But, betore any a is decided upon, we would not be surprised to see a dreadful conflict between the British and the French party. We have the best reason for believ- ing that the Orangemen of Canada, who number upwards of forty thousand, are arming and pre- paring themselves for such a contingency; and that contingency may occur at any moment. It may take place in Montreal, if the newly-appointed po- liee—or Elgin guards, as they are ealled—should make their appearance in that city; forthe British party are determined to annibilate them es even as they doo. This would be the sigaal for the fight; and no sooner would it be commenced, than armed thousands of the Orangemen in the upper provinee would rush to the succor of their friends in the lower. Or it may break out at the next general election, in case the League do not soon meet and adopt some plan that will be satisfactory to the maeees of the British party. But the League will meet in a few days, and we shall soon know what course Canadian politics will take—whether annexation to the United States, or a separate North American confederacy.

Now, however, that the fall election for State officers is approaching, another effort is bemg made | to unite both parties in support of one ticket, or one set of candidates. With that view, a proposition | was made on the 20th of last month, by the hunker | committee, then sitting in Albany, to a committee | of the barnburners, also sitting there at the same time, which was, in substance, that both commit- tees should agree to recommend one delegate from | each organization, to be selectedin each Assembly district, to meet at Rome on the 16th of August next, for the purpose of consultation, and discussing | means for a union; also, to suggest the names for a union ticket for State officers, and requesting an early response to their proposal. On the 3d of July, after the lapse of a fortnight, when the eense of the whole party had been taken on the hunker proposal, and after they had fully matured and arranged the plan by which they were | to uct at the forthcoming convention, they replied | by a long communication, agreeing to the proposal | for a convention, but intimated that they could not, and would not, recede one inch from the Wilmot platform. We take the following extract from that communigation, which we think clearly indicates the spirit and intention that will anumate the barn- burners in their negotiations and future intercourse with the hunker party :— * The question which apps divide them, (the de- mocratic party.) is that o ry. We believe con- ntiourly that human slavery is a moral, social, and political evil; that the general government should relieve itself from all responsibility for its existence, and that the full constitutional power of the govern: ment, to prevent the spread of this evil, should be ex- erted now, as it bas been uniformly, from the Jefferson ce of 1787 to the Oregon Territorial Bill of 1848, ¢ sustained this faith through the adverse cir- cumstances of the Presidential campaign of 1848, and | we can never abandon it with honor, It is pretty obvious, from the ground taken here, | that if the barnburners are not allowed to play the | part ef “a bull in a China shop”—that is, to have every thing their own way—the Roman convention is much more hkely to end in a row than in a union. It may be said, however, that the division in the democratic party arose from a struggle for ascen- dancy between the leaders; that, in that struggle, no principle was evolved which could keep the party, for any length ef time, divided; that the senseless cry of the ‘* Wilmot proviso and free soil” was a mere clap-trap, get up to defeat the election ofa particular candidate; but now that obyect has been achieved, no further cause for disunion ex- ists. It may be further argued, that the demo- cracy of this State, beimg out of power for nearly three years, are necessarily becoming seedy, and, of course, anxious to be restored to office; and | that the muin cause of dissension being removed, | a common interest will urge them on to a consum- mation of the contemplated union. ‘These arguments are undoubtedly entitled to cht; but we think that whoever reads nunication above referred to, with atten- tion, cannet fail to remark that it presents two ia- surmountable obstacles to a union. First, the bara- burners will not recede from the Wilmot proviso, ‘To use their own language, ‘* We can never aban- | do nit with honor.” Nor will the hunkers, smarting | under three successive defeats—the last the most | serious—the defeat ef their favorite candidate for the presidency. We repeat it, will they abandon their principles, succumb to the barnburners, and | that led to the defeat in this State of Mr. Cass, at the last presidential election! We pause for a reply. Bat let us suppose that on the Wilmot proviso a cempromise might be effected—then the next ques- | tien would be, could they agree on candidates for | State officers ? We think not. ‘The leaders of the barnburners are much more adroit and unseru- pulous then the leaders of the other party. Nothing lees than the entire patronage of the State, for themselves and their followers, would satisfy the former ; and rf they cannot nominate candidates fi their own party, so as to secure a monopoly | about. The adroitness with which they managed to have four of their partisane appointed Alms House Commissioners is proof (if any were wanted) of their unecrupulousness and lust of power. For these reasons, and believing that the hunk- ers have yet come regard for public opinion and consistency, and thatthey cannot, without a total desertion of both, adopt the Wilmot proviso ; and, moreover, knowing as they must, that the barn- burners would be the ruligg party, and, asa matter j of course, would take to themselves the lion’s | share of the spoils, we think that a union cannot | be effected, and that the convention at Rome, on the 15th of next month, must fail. | Tux Witwot Proviso—Wrose Torn Next t= ‘We remarked, the other day, at some length, on that princely humbug, the Wilmot proviso, which turned up just in the miek of time to enable Mr. ex-President Van Buren to gratify his private re- venge, because his nomination in 1844 was defeat- | ed, and to destroy the election of General Cass, | ~ | through whose instrumentality, as well as that of | his friends, Mr. Van Buren was laid on the shelf, | and Mr. Polk nominated. As soon as Mr. Van | Boren had dene with it, he threw it aside, as a person would an umbrella in fine weather ; but it proved so efficacious in his hands, and moreover, not being quite worn out in his service, that Col. Benton, of Missouri, thought he would take a twist at it, and endeavor by its aid to accomplish hie political purposes. The term of service of that Senator being about to expire, and his popularity being on the wane, Col. Benton feared that his chences of re-election were rather slim, and that his ultimate prospect of being the democratic no- minee for the Presidency would be destroyed, un- lees he could summon to his aid some new in- fluence that would create a terrible hubbab and commotion, in the emoke and excitement of which he would be again retarned to Washington. Ile accordingly delivered an iaterminably long speech on the Wilmot provieo, denouncing his opponents, | and John C. Calhoun in particular, devoting to the great South Carolinien nearly two-thirds of his remarks. This was, no doubt, that his oppo- nents could not eurvive the shock. Having used the Wilmot proviso a8 a weapon of atinek, he threw it eside, as Mr. Ven Buren did when he was done with it; bet that unfortunate affair was vot allowed to rest in peace. Senator Atchi- son, of Missouri, the leader of Mr. Benton's oppo- nents, has now taRen it ap, ond denies that it is aa beard that it is a tangible reality, and asserts that | he will obey the resolutions of his State on the | subject of slavery. He has taken it up for the pur- pore of demoliching Mr. Benton, and preveating bis re-election, and uses the identical weapon which Mr. Benton availed himeeif of. There is no necessity for us to tell our readers | the motives which influence these senatorial glade | ators in their war against each other. After wit- | neseing Mr. Van Buren's suecessfal trick, there is | no need of it. Mr. Benton is using the Wilmot provito for personal purposes, vir: to head off the Legiclature, and be reelected; and Mr. Atchison 1s ing it on the other side, The Wilmot proviso ia certainly a wonderfol invention.

Dedication crthe Methodist Episcopal Church, 30th Street, Yesterday, at 8 o'clock, took place the ceremony of the dedication of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 30t street, between 8th and 9th avenues. Rev. Dr. Durbin, of Philadelphia, was expected to attend, as announced in the advertisement, but through illness was unable to do so, and the disappointment was considerable. In Lis absence, the sermon was preached by Rey. Dr. Hholdriteh, Prayer being offered, a Scripture lesson read by Rev. Mr. Haven, the pastor, and @ hymn sung, the sclemn dedication was then performed by Presiding Elder B Griffin. Rev. Dr. Hotpriten then preached the sermon from aul’s Epirtle to the Romans, 14th cbap., 7th ver. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.’— ‘There were two tendencies in the human mind; one was to magnify ceremonies a: xternals, and the other Was to get rid of all forms. Christianity was equally from both systems. ‘The religion of the au- cient pagans consisted almost entirely of evcremonies, and did more barm than good, for the gods who were the objects of adoration were exhibited as beings filled with revenge. injustice. rage and lust, The religion of the Jews had much of what was ceremonial, but under ‘this wae veiled the spiritual character of God, and the essence of true inward religion. This religion had de- generated in the time of Christ to mere ceremonies, the worshippers resting on the forms instead of the substance. Lhe new covenant introduced by Him di- mini>hed th ey ct of the human mind for forms. ‘The grand id Methodism was exactly defined in the text. His first proposition was, that Christianity did net consist of mere forms. Christ bad only insti- tuted two, namely, baptism and the Lord’s supper.

Yesterday, at two g’clock in the afternoon, the annual examination of the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at the close of the academical year, took place in the presenee of a large assem- blage, consisting of the directors and friends of the institution, and the families in this vincinity, with several strangers and distinguished visiters from a distance. The exhibition was eminently gratifying, and creditable in the highest degree to the President ofthe institution, and his able assis- tants. With the general character of these exhibitions of the progress of the deaf mutes who have been subjected to the training and discipline of this admirably -conducted institution, the public are now familiar. It has been our pleasing duty for years past to record the progress of this establishment and its pupils; so that which was some years ago regarded by many as a wonder and a mystery, has now ceased to have evenany degree of novelty. We need not, then, enter,on the present occasion, into any minute details with regard to the examinations of the several classes, which were entered into for the purpo: lustrating the system of instruction adopted in this institution, and the progress of the wpils in all the departments of knowledge. A rief reference to some peas, connected with the general management of the institution, and the evidences of its usefulness and prosperity, will suffice in this instance, and may not be uninte- resting. Undvestionably, the New York Institution for the instruction of the deaf and dumb, owes its pre- sent high state of present: te the indefatigable and unremitting labors of Dr. Harvey Peet, the President. It is now nineteen years since this gentleman assumed the chief manage- ment of the institution as superintendent. He is reouliayy gifted and fitted for his post; and one of the best proofs of the success with which he has devoted his talents and energies to this great work, is to be found in the fact that he, has completely revolutionized the whole system of instruction of the deaf and dumb, both in this country and in Europe. Dr. Peet has indeed re- duced the whole business to a system—a system which has been followed in all the principal insti- tutions of this kind, at home and abroad. The perfection to which this system of moral and in- tellectual culture in the case of the deaf and dumb, has been brought, is truly among the proudest triumphs of humen benevolence and human skill. Year after year, numbers of young persons of both sexes, laboring under the sad calamity of want of hearing and speech, -have left this institution thoroughly educated, and many‘ of them highly accomplished, perfectly fitted to become, useful members of society, and enter into all social rela- tions with honor and comfort—endowed with habits and principles of self reliance, means of judging for themselves, and ability to earn their own subsistence and transact their own afiairs. At present there are two hundred and twenty ene in the institution. ‘The Corporation of New York support eleven pupils—about thirty are sup- ported by their relations, and the remainder are the recipients of the bounty of the State. We never saw a happier congregation of young people in our life than that which crowded the chapel of the institution yesterday. Health and happiness— all the hopeful buoyancy of youth—all the glad and pure excitement of oeng hearts, unstained by contact with the world, were pictured in those cheerful countenances. It seemed as if it were one large family of brothers and sisters, eqjoying in peace and love the comforts and delights ef an elegant home, rather than an assemblage of the pupils of a public institution. The institution is eautifully located. Its site has been most judiciously chosen. It oceupies one of the most healihtul spots on the island of Manhattan. — The buildings are spacious, Hhonoeanly ventilated, and all the, apartments admirably adapted to their appropriate purposes. Jt was a hot day with- out; but in those onal corridors and spa- cious school-rooms, end neatly furnished sit- ting-rooms and parlors, it was as cool as in some shady neok upon the rocky shore.
