“Our ‘Canadian ‘Correspondence, Monrrear, December 3, 1849, Affairs in Canada—Terrible Indignation Against the Government, §c , &c., §c. ‘The struggle at present being carried on in the ‘Canadian provinces, is no less a one than a war of principles. It is monarchical government, vs. republican, and as such assumes much impor- tance. I do not stand alone in this view of the ease; the London Duily News endorses it. Ina Jate number of that journal I find the following :— “ A war is going on between the monarchical government ot Cunada and the republican govera- ment of the United States—a war of rivalry—a of competition—to see which will be: for the welfare, and prosperity, and de- Toast of each population.” When the torch was applied to the Parliament duildings, anew train ot ideas was ignited in the popular mind. Upon the removal of the place which for so many years had dimmed their vision, they, for the first time, saw how corrupt was the system of government under which they lived; they saw the folly of that form of government, (responsible) which they had wasted blood and treacure in obtalnieg from the mother country, and they determined that the next ch should bea radieal one, both as regards institutions ana principles. Men were brovght to a consideration of their position a8 colonists. So long as they re- mained in that position, they saw no insurance of prosperity, no stability of tstitutions. They had the wisdom to foresee, that #8 loog as they con- tinued cclonists, the bickeriogs of government and the war of races never could or would be ex- tinguished. ‘That it was a fixed principle on the part of the British ministry to foster and cherish these difierences, so thet, merged in them, their position as colonists would not come up before them. It was afier the probing deeply of all these questions, that certain gentle- nin Montreal gave to the world the results of their enquires, in that sble document, naddress to the people of Canada!” The signers to the document are a living proof of themselves, as to the vaet benefits that must surely accrue from its adoption by bey] so It 1s the siaking into ob- hivion all past ditlerences,whether of party, race, or ereed. It is bearing out the anoexationists when they say, that by connexiou with the United States these elements of party strife are done away with, and the common good Is the ealy object with {n a pure republic all men work for the common good, each one ina prop to the State. How is at with a monarchy? The interests of the mauy are sacrificed for that ofa pampered few. It is thu nadians are beginning to view the question. They see, that in the present state of ufiaire, the inter- esta of the people are sacrificed to the ambition and aggrandizement of afew. Lord Elgin, as the representative of British majesty in the colony, receives out of the pockets of fiteen hundred thou- aand, the incredible sum of $30,000. That minis- ters, legislators and other oilicicls, suck out mil- lions besides; and that after paying these leeches, the country is obliged to borrow money to make the necessary pub! bo roverents.— Now, turing to the nei ng rep , they there 80 1 ra ditlerence as astounds them. jury, Ubey find it is ow- ing to the electiy (ulons, @tas republican, of country.

Now the applying of the torch to the | naaest building, a8 | have aforesaid, was the means of rising a revolution in the public miad.

The streams of republican! that were repidly irrigating these remaining colonies of Great Britain, have been cheeked for a time, but it is nd to see that the obstruction is temporary and aco! dental; the refluent waters will ere long return with inereased force and overflow the whole country. In this confused, disjointed. retrogressive state of the liberal and progressive mind of Canada, the Montreal manifesto was suddenly thrown before thi ple. All parties in the Upper Province were taken by surprise; ut the reformers, whose principles it adopted and car- ried out to their legitimate end. were especially puzzled. The past conduc: aud principles of those who osten- sibly drew it up, and promulged it. were known to be alike worthy of condemnation. That they hed beep sudden)y ecnverted, or would refuse te recant. at the fret trial was doubted, and coneequently but little a: tention, and less sympatby have been shown by the real republicans of this part of Canada, towards the anpexstionrets of Moptieal. The discontented tories, b in some instances, come out boldly in their be- half. Mapy more who see that before long, it must come to this, h ht they might as well get the credit of an thusearly The liberals who are a large majority of the population, auspecting the tona fides of the ‘Montrealers, Kv d unger the indeonee of # reactionary policy, adopted by their political les s I have just described. have thus far stood off, but it must not be suppored from this that the liberal pene when the sincerity of the Montreal geutlemen 6 been proved, aud the influence of the government bern wern cut and extinguished, which it soon will be, will refuse to join the movewent.

If sbe should sey no. even the Montrealers admitted the game would be over. ‘The news by the America has neither dashed the hopes of the auvexationis( . nor greatly flattered them, So far as the Ties may be considered a fui2aful oxpo nent of the views and iveiings of the E: and government, the result is favorable.

In almost every portion of New York, but most especially in Broadway, the streets leading into it, and the upper part of the city, there have been ereoted within a year or two, d are now being orect- ed, hotels, stores, churches and private residences, which oannot be equalled in splendor and costiiness by any city inthe world. Every variety of architecture Pressed into service; and every desoription of mate- rial, including brick, marble, free stone sand stone, is used in the construction of those palioes.

They will be five stories in height, with brown stone fronts, and have the new pa- tent revolving iron shutters which seem to be so much the pow-a-days, These shutters are very conve- nient, and are far superior to avy other kind, especially in regard to fire, Tbey revolve on s cylinder, which is worked by scrankin the inside, The whole can be Jet down or wound up in a minute, aud they add very much to the epprarance of a building.
