Immediately after the reading of the journal a preamble and reso- lations were introduced, asking for an investigation into the official conduct of Messrs. Cook, Fuller, Sey- Mour and Walkem late whig State officers, and Messrs. McAlpine and Follett, present democratic efficers. An attempt was made to refer the allega- tions against these gentlemen as eect forth in the Resolutions, and which are of a very grave character as will be seen by our special despatch, to the Judiciary Committee, to ascertain whether the House had power to institute inquiries relative to per- sons out of office. This did not suit the ideas of the barnburner faction—they preferred that the resoln- fons should go to the Champlin Committee, which reported the resolutions of impeachment against Mr. Mather. After a lengthy debate the matter was re- ferred to the Champlin committee, who, in course ef a short time, reported that they were unable to agree as to the legality of investigating the condact of men whose terms of office had expired, conse- quently the committee were constrained to ask for advice from the Judiciary Committee. This com- Pletely upset the calculations of the barnburners— hewever, they made the best of a bad bargain, by twansferring the documents to the Judiciary. But ‘this was only a preliminary step in the way of im- peachment business. Mr. Ely, a hunker representa- tive from Broome county, startled the opposite factionists of his party, by preferring ru- mored allegations by the wholesale against Comptroller Wright, and asking for a thorough and searching examination into the same. A spirited controversy ensued, at the conclusion of which Mr. Ely’s resolutions were handed over othe Champlin committee. If one-fourth of the ebarges contained in the different resolutions intro- @uced are true, the supposed corruption among some ef our municipal officers has been a mere cypher compared with that of a few of our State officers, But will any of these charges be sustained? Are our legislators prepared to face the music, or is ita mere triangular fight between the hunkers, barn- barners and whigs? The Senate spent the entire day in the third read- Bg of bills. Among those passed was the New York Pilot bill, after having been amended iu several particulars. The Assembly also passed various bills, including one for the consolida- tion of Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Bushwic { ‘That will be a pretty large corporation. The Maine Jaw bill was not troubled, but it is now believed that the measure will be adopted and signed by the Gover- nor. The people, however, will have an opportunity, should they desire it, of causing the repeal of this Measure before it can go into effect, by attending the polls next November. The Assembly, we perceive, is in a fair way of leading off the Senate committee on the Central park question, whose reports we else- where publish in full. The former body yesterday ordered a bill for the park to a third reading. The Union whigs of Georgia are determined to adhere to the platform adopted by them in 1850. General Sanford, a Union democrat, is reported to have presided at their recent State Convention, in which representatives were present from fifty-two ounties. Hon. Charles J. Jenkins was nominated for Governor; Senator Toombs, and other distin- guished gentlemen made speeches; the principles of the Union Convention were re-asserted, and every thing passed off harmoniously and enthusiastically. Dr. David A. Reese has been nominated as the whig candidate for Congress in the Third district of Georgia. A telegraphic despatch from New Orleans states that two vessels, armed to the teeth, and of sus- picious appearance, went to sea from the Belize last Wednesday afternoon—destination unknown. If true, this is a very important piece of information. Some days ago, it will be recollected, rumors were afloat that the administration had received intelli- gence of filibustero movements in this city, the in. vestigation of which promised some rich develope- ments. Now, it may be possible, and past experi- ence would tend to confirm such supposition, that the filibusters themselves have endeavored to place the government officers upon a wrong track by pre- tending that their operations were progressing here in the North instead of the South. It would not be surprising to hear that the suspicions vessels men- tioned in the despatch belonged to the fleet of slavers which have recently been so busily employed in run- ning negroes into Cuba. One of our Havana corres- pondents lately stated that it was the intention of the cwners of some of these vessels to send them to this country for repairs. However, we shall probably soon learn the destination of the mysterious crafts alluded to, and until then it would be useless to specu late as to what may be their intentions. Two Prussian vessels of war, the frigate Gefion and sloop Amazon, bave put into Norfolk for sup- plies. They are homeward bound from Buenos Ayres. According to the synopsis of Santa Anna's new Mexican tariff, seven ports are declared open to foreign commerce on the Gulf of Mexico, five in the Gulf of California, three on the northern, and two on the southern frontier. ‘The steamer Faleon, which arrived at New Or- leans yesterday, reports that the Georgia left Aspin- wall on the 19th, with two millions and eight hun- dred thousand dollars, and two hundred passengers for New York. She will probably arrive to-day or 4o-morrow. Great preparations haye been made by the Ger. nians of Philadelphia for their mosical festival, wi\ich is to take place to-morrow evening. Thirty- two societies are to be in attendance from other plac. ts. Those from this city and the Rast were last eveni vg welcomed by a grand torch light procession, amid t be firing of cannon, waving of banners, yocal and ins.umental music, &c. Dyson,, the English school teacher, charged with having in cited the New Orleans negroes to make the recent attempt at insurrection, underwent a pre- itminary ex.wmination last Wednesday, The evi- dence against him was sufficiently strong to induce ciates over for trial in the District Court. The proe pects now are that this will prove a serious piece of business for those engaged in the conspiracy. Should the charges against Dyson be substantiated his punishment will be very severe, perhaps death. Captain Winthrop Richardson is raidto have been completely annihilated by the express train, on the Maine Railroad, yesterday afternoon. He attempted to cross the track, when the train literally dashed him to pieces, not a piece of his body being found larger than his hand. James McGuire, convicted in the Syracuse Court of Oyer and Terminer of the murder of James W. Holland, in Onondaga, last winter, was yesterday sentenced to be executed on the 17th of August. Cating, who was sentenced to be hung for the mar- der of Mr. O’Brien’s children, has been respited by the Governor of New Jersey until the 21st of next month, in order to allow time to obtain further in- formation relative to the sanity of the culprit. A very interesting argument between the District Attorney and John Cochrane, Esq., on the present judicial power of the City Judge, took place yester- day in the Court of General Sessions. Mr. Coch- rane pleaded for an arrest of judgment in the case of | John 8. Austin and others, convicted of riot at Tam- many Hall, on the ground that a different court from that before whom the defendants were tried had no power to pass sentence upon them, After hearing | the argument on both sides, Judge Beebe postponed the sentence of the defendants until the July term. A large number of criminals were sentenced, among whom were three persons found guilty of manslaugh- ter, several river thieves, and two or three burglars. It being the last day of the term, the Court adjourned sine die. The total number of deaths in New York during the past week was 561, or 232 more than that of the previous week. ‘his great and alarming increase in our bill of mortality was doubtless produced by the intense heat of the weather. The deaths among children under one year was enormous, numbering no less than 250. The number of deaths by sun stroke were 20, but this is a small proportion of those who died of other diseases caused by the ex- treme heat; 49 died from cholera infantum, 13 from debility, 28 from diarrhea, 15 from dysentery, 51 from convulsions, 52 from consumption, 34 from congestion of the brain, 20 from marasmus, and 21 from inflammation of the brain. Death reaped an abundant harvest during those two or three burning days. The Collins steamer Baltic may be expected to- day, with four days’ later news from Europe. The threatening aspect of the Russo-Turkish difficulty, at last advices, causes additional information to be looked for with much anxiety from that quarter. Reference is made to our inside pages for interest- ing letters from London, Paris, Halifax, and New England ; Additional information relative to the Chinese Rebellion; A Tale of Awful Crime and Fiendish Cruelty in!Michigan ; Financial and Com- mercial Reviews, &c. The Destiny of the Society and Sandwich Ie lands—French Colonial Policy. The intelligence from Tahiti which has lately appeared in the columns of the HeRatp, is pe- culiarly interesting and suggestive. “A French colony” has long been a by-word. It is generally understood to signify a place where the language of Racine and Montesquieu is cruelly murdered; where trade is systemati- cally discouraged; where agriculture is prose- cuted with the implements used in Normandy and Languedoc under Louis XIV.; where home manufactures are unknown; and where the chief aim of the local authorities is ever to kill the goose in order to seize the factory of its golden eggs. Corruption, tyranny. and monopolies have been invariable characteristics of French colonies. Like Spain, France has never learnt that to benefit the mother country the colony must itself be prosperous and contented; and that to aggrandize the home exchequer ora few individuals, at the expense of colonial interests, is in reality todeal a fatal blow at the mother country herself. These are truths which Col- bert and Coligny tried in vain to teach their countrymen. Their sound admonitions were contemned, and those who succeeded them in the administration of public business had the worldly wisdom to sail with the stream, and to lend their aid to support a system which most of them knew to be rotten to the core, and ulti- mately ruinous to French influence and maritime power. Theorists. like Pagés, have more than once deplored the existence of a policy whose effects were discernible a full century ago; but the interval which separates French theory from practice is so great that no sensible change has ever been effected or even honestly tried. The French colonial system is as clearly ex- emplified at the present day in the Society Islands, as it ever was in Canada or East India The same dissatisfaction, the same poverty, the same utter indifference to the elements of ma- terial prosperity are visible in both; and the re- sults which these faults produced in the latter must obviously occur in the former also. Time was when the whole northern section of this continent belonged to France. Canada, and Acadia, were alone aworld. The Valley of the Mississippi was neutral ground between the In- dians and the French, and Louisiana—since an empire of itself—completed the chain of the French possessions in North America. New- foundland was ‘thers also. Hayti she long loved to cali the Queen of her colonies, whence alone she derived a trade equal to that which Spain carried on with South America. She held St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Grenada, Tobago, and several other West India isles. In the East, without alluding to the Isle of France, the French possessions once extended upwards of two hundred leagnes on the coast of Hindostan, by sixty leagues in depth. The slightest management on the part of ber colonial authorities, and mere common sense on that of her home government, might have placed her in the position now occupied by Great Britain. All these magnificent terri- tories—and others, which our space does not permit us to enumerate—she has lost. Out of the wreck of an empire larger than Rome ever claimed, she has now but a couple of West India Islands, a few pestifdbous marshes in South America called Guyane and Cayenne, Madagascar, which is in the last stage of social dissolution and misery, the Isle Bourbon, a strip of African coast where a few vessels trade for gum, the Marquesas and Sc y Islands, and Algiers. With the exception of the last, all cost France ten times more than they pro- duce. Everywhere the establishment of French colonial authority has been a signal for social disorders and commercial stagnation. Algiers isa sort of safety valve. where obnoxious offi- cers are sent to exhale their superfluous ardor; and serves occasionally to divert public atten- tion from affairs at home. But it is a solitary exception. Otaheite, where vessels can ob- tain neither provisions nor good fuel where laborers are not to be had—and whose inhabitants have lost, under French rule, all the spirit and vigor which formerly charac- terised them—is a fair sample of the modern French colonies. Yet, with this fact staring them in the face, while French publicists too truly remark that die Recurder to bind both bisa and his negro awe y ‘4 Ticiglmea connor bear the word colony with- out @ flush of shame,” the French are resolutely intriguing for the establishment of a protecto- rate over the Sandwich Islands. They have not been able to keep any single possession which offered the slightest temptation to foreign pow- ers. They have lost, one by one, the noblest colonies ever possessed by any State. Their moral incapacity to govern territories at any considerable distance from home, is now as well established as any political fact can be. Still. in absolute contempt of the lessons of experience, French admirals and French diplomatists are constantly setting our nerves ajar by Quixotish expeditions against continental deserts or iso- lated rocks in some vast ocean. It remains to be seen how far Napoleon III. will pursue the policy of his predecessors in this respect. He has,on more than one occa- sion, evinced commendable wisdom in depart- ing from the routine which his sagacity desig- nated as impolitic. A reform in Freneh colo nial policy would be worthy of his talent. What that reform should be we need hardly point out. Some nations have the gift of colonizing successfully; to others§the experiment breeds ruin abroad and regret at home. We need not tell the French to what category they belong. Nor do we mean it as any reproach, when we express the opinion that it would be equally for the interest of the Pacific Islanders and the citizens of La Belle France, if her colonies were hereafter confined to territories within three days sail of her coast. Wuat’s To BE Done witu Buty Bow.ecs ?— We understand the government have determin- ed to dispense with Mr. Blake’s further services in quieting Billy Bowlegs and his red skin friends in Florida, not being entirely satisfied with the result of the labors so far. Although Billy’s admiration of New York—including the Heratp’s fast presses, and the quantity and quality of the whiskey so liberally dealt out to him here—was very great. yet it seems pretty certain, now that he has returned to the ever- glades, that he again feels himself “ every inch a king,” and will remain there till Uncle Sam’s bayonets succeed in pricking himaway. Diplo- macy for the future will not be resorted to, and Colonel Blake must abandon his golden dreams of getting rid of the Seminoles by the aid of “moral suasion.” Captain Casey, of the U.S. Army. has received orders to repair at once to Florida to take charge of the troops there, and keep a sharp look out after the breechless war- riors. It is understood, that in case hostilities should break out, and it is expected they may in the fall, the gallant General Harney, of the U.S. dragoons, and now we believe in this city, will be ordered to the command of the troops in that quarter ; and it is the opinion of military men that, with proper diligence, Billy and his followers will be heartily tired of the contest before many weeks. With the past history of military operations in Florida before us. how- ever, we entertain some doubts of this speedy result. Mr. Coorey’s vs. Mr. BEEKMAN’s REPORT on Our CentrRaL Park.—It is, indeed, with emotions of the liveliest satisfaction, that we spread before the multitudinous readers of the Heratp this morning, the able, learned, logi- cal, historical. statistical, incontestible, and conclusive report to the State Senate, lately presented by Mr. Cooley, in behalf of our great Central Park. We also give Mr. Beekman’s re- port in favor of Jones’ Wood. The almost miraculous achievements of Na- poleon, in the camp and in the cabinet, in bat- tle and in diplomacy, in the administration of State affairs in every department, to the small- + eet minutie, and in the advancement of the arts and sciences, were due, to a very great ex- tent, to his instinctive knowledge of men. He could tell, almost at a glance, what a man was worth, and what was his true vocation. Hence he singled out the instruments of his mighty genius. with something of the infallibility of inspiration. We trust the sequel will prove that we have indicated this Napoleonic percep- tion of the right man, in singling out Mr. Cooley to push forward the enterprise of our great Central Park in the Senate. Read his report—compare it with Senator Beekman’s, and then remember that Mr. Cooley was our man from the start. We have not been disap- pointed in Mr. Cooley. No. Spectra. Exvoy From THe Pore To Tae Unirep States.—We extract the following official an- nouncement from the Freeman’s Journal of this city. We presume that the information is derived from our venerable Archbishop Hughes, and it may. therefore, be considered as fully entitled to the respect due to an edict from the Vatican :— INTERESTING FROM Rome.—On the 9th of May Monseignor Cajetan Bedini, ey of Thebes, former Commissary Extraordinary of the Pontificial overument to the legations, left Rome as special Envoy of His Holiness to the United States. At our latest advices Monseignor Bedini was in Paris. He is charged by the Sed Father to pay a visit to the government at Washington, and also to hold inter- views with the different prelates of the church ia the United States, and to acquire the most exact in- formation respecting the interests and condition of the Catholic Church in this country. After making as long a visit as may be of advan- tage in the United States, Monsignor Bedini will go to Brazil, where he is to reside as Apostolic Nuncio near that government. He is accompanied at pre- sent by M. Ernest Cologneri, who goes to the Aj tolic Legate in Mexico, as Auditor, taking the te of M. Marius Marini Oscali, who goes to Rio to dis- charge the fanctions of Charge d’ Affaires till such time as a Nuncio shall arrive. We doubt not that Monseignor Bedini will be delighted with his visit. and the onward march of the church in this quarter of the vineyard; but somewhat astonished at the general pros- perity of the country, and the happiness of its population—bond and free—notwithstanding the swarms of abolitionists and heretics with which the country abounds. At all events, we bespeak a becoming reception to this distin- guished functionary from the Holy Father at Rome. Goon News ror Wau Sr .—It is report- ed that General Pierce and his Cabinet are of the same opinion, that there will be no war in Europe on account of the Turkish question. But whether this information is authentic is one thing; and whether, if authentic, it has been de- rived from the Russian Minister through our Premier. or is the mere private opinion of the Premier himself. is quite another thing. Even as a rumor. however, it is good news for Wall street. Let the bears hold back a little longer, but look sharp. The question is not yet settled, and hostile fleets and armies are in motion. Look sharp. Wuar’s THe Marrer Now?—It is reported that Mr. Secretary Guthrie has been drawing his pen across a good many of the appointments sent in for his confirmation from our Collector of the Custome; and it is farther alleged, that the soft shells hold very largely the balance of power in the catalogue. We had thought that Judge Bronson was a hard shell—almost ashard as Dickinson. What's the matter now? Is he hard ox soft? ‘Whatever may be the ultimate destiny of Canada— whether it is to remain the colonial possession of a powerful nation, extending along our northern fron- tier, from its junction with the province of New Brunswick to the shores of the Pacific, either asa separate and distinct colony, or the member of a federative union of all the provinces—whether it shall be the intention of the British government at no distant day, to form these into an independeat empire, whose position as such it will maintain and defend—or whether they shall eventually become a portion of the American Union; in whichever of these points of view the subject is considered, it is one of vital importance to the people of the United States, and merits their attention, as well as that of the general government. Not only are the commercial relations between Ca- nada and this country daily increasing in extent, value and importance, almost beyond conception, ‘but by means of its canals and railroads—a princi- pal link of which, extending from the Niagara to the Detroit, will be opened in a few months—that pro- vince affords the most direct route to our north- western territory, and channels for the transport- ing of produce from the far West to the American seaboard, or to the Atlantic by that great natural highway—the St. Lawrence. In addition to this, a large and increasing portion of the inhabitants of Canada, are of the same Anglo- Saxon stock as are those of the United States, in whose welfare the citizens of every part of the Union must feel a deep and abiding interest, as well social- ly and politically, as commercially; and which must be increased by the state of religious feeling, which in that province is at present adding to the bitterness of political strife, which it did not require the visit of Padre Gavazzi to develope, but which it seems to have brought to a crisis, that will awaken the sym- pathies of a large portion of our fellow-citizens, whe- ther Protestant or Catholic. ‘The territory of Canada East, which was originally settled from France, and where seven-eighths of the present population are of French origin, professing the creed of their fathers, retaining their amiable and simple habits, governed to a great extent by the same laws and usages that existed at the time of the conquest in 1759, and still holding their lands under the seigniorial tenures—embraces upwards of one hundred and twenty-eight millions of acres; while that of Canada West, whose inhabitants are chiefly of British and American origin—five-sixths of whom are Protestante—contains about thirty-two thousand acres of, generally speaking, fertile land, peculiarly adopted for the cultivation of wheat—upwards of two hundred millions of acres in the aggregate. The population of this vast region when the cen- sus returns were made out last year was, in Lower Canada, 890,261; in Upper Canada, 952,004— making a total of 1,842,265. At the close of the American war of independence the latter province was an almost entire wilderness, and when the union of both provinces took place in 1841, the popu- lation of the lower province exceeded the other. Since then the latter has been filling up rapidly, and has already outstripped the former in the race of population, a8 well as in that of cultivation, intelli- gence, and improvement; the existence of the seigniorial tenure, large blocks of land held in the eastern townships, chiefly by absentees and specu- lutors, and the jealousy entertained by the French Canadians towards all whom they consider foreigners, materially retarding the settlement of that part of Canada. The following is the origin of the inbabi- tants of bcth rections of the province, according to the last returns in 1852:— LC. U.C. Teal, England and Wales. 11.230, 82,609 u.020 Seo: land W568 75,811 90.576, 51499 176,267 227,776 669 528 §=6©26.417 695, 125 680 526,093 651,673 Reouist 12,482 48,732 66,214 The remainder being composed of natives and their descendapts from the other colonies and from Euro- pean countries. As to the religious creeds of this mixed population, we find them classed as follows:— LC U.C. Total. Church of England . 45,402 223190 268,529 Do, land, 4,047 67,542 61,589 267 65'807 68.074 29221 80.799 110,020 8,927 T7747 = 11,647 21.183 117,656 228,859 4,493 45,553 48,840 10475 1.753 12,208 766,866 167,695 914,561 ‘The balance of the population, with the exception of between five and six thousand persons, of whose re- ligious creed no information could be obtained, is made up of various denominations, who may be classed as Protestants; and while the Roman Catho- lics predominate in Lower Canada, and the Pro- testants in Upper, yet in the province, generally speaking, they are about equally divided. It may be proper here to remark, that there exists but little sympathy between the French and Irish Catholics, who have separate places of worship in Montreal and Quebec, and no other bond of union than that of a common creed. During the rebellions the Irish popu- lation stood aloof from the French Canadians; and in the recent outbreak at Montreal, when their religion was also attacked, the latter took no part in the riotous proceedings that occurred. By the terms of the capitulation, in which Canada was surrendered to Great Britain, the undisturbed exercise of the Roman Catholic religion was permit- ted, so far as it should not be at variance with the laws of the empire. Yet, while in the neighboring provinces, the people of that faith, continued to labor under civil disabilities, down to the passing of the Catholic emancipation act in 1829, quite a different state of things existed in Lower Canada; the British government deeming it expedient to propitiate the Catholic clergy, and, in this way, to receive the at- tachment of their people, over whom they exercise an almost unlimited control. Gradually, however, a British party was formed in Lower Canada, as well as in the upper province’ which was not of so much importauce in point of numbers, as for the undue influence that it exercised in the councils of the country many of those who composed it, having fled from the United States at the close of the Revolution, and se- cured for themselves and their posterity, as they vainly imagived, the perpetual administration of the affairs of the Province, and pretty generally all the offices of trust and emolument in the colony. It is to this improper predominance of the British party that the rebellions of 1837-'38 are to be attributed, which were followed by the reunion of the Provinces that had been injudiciously separated in 1791. Hitherto the government of the North American provinces had been administered by a Governor, with the advice of his Executive Council, and who was directly responsible to the authorities in Eng- land, but who was almo.t invariably swayed by the local partyin power. To rid the country of this in- cubus, the British government has recently conceded what is termed respousible government—similar to that of the parent State, which requires that the advisets of the Governor shall be able to command a majority in support of their measures in the Colonial Legisla'ure. Had the British or conservative party, when they found ,the Queen’s govern- ment determined to make this concession, wisely decided to regulate a movement which they could not control, they might have remained in power to the present day; but they resisted the mea- sure, and an adverse majority in accordance with ptblic sentiment, both in Canada and Nova Scotia, drove them from the position they had oc- cupied since the acquisition of those provinces by the British crown; and subsequently, they have been pertinacious in their efforts to impede and obstruct the working of the new form of government, in con- sequence of which, the French party in Canada havo been enabled to obtain the ascendancy, not only in the halls of legislation, owing to the divisions among British party, but in the government of the country Five of the gentlemen who compose what is called the cabinet, being members of the Leislatare—four of them of French origin, and ail of them being Ro man Catholics; while but three are from Upper Canada, who are not bound together by any religious ve, aud probably it may be added, way idemusy oi | examination showed no sigus of violence. political principles. In this way, the French Cana- dian members of the Assembly are brought to sup- port the government on all occasions, where the measure at issue does not conflict with their imme- diate interests. It 1s this state of public affairs that gives a pecu- liar meaning to the popular outbreaks that take place at Montreal whenever the public mind becomes ex- cited, from whatever cause, and which exceed in vio- lence, and often in their unhappy results, anything of the kind that occurs elsewhere, of however aggra- vated a character. And with reference to that which bas recently occurred in that city, and which has been attended with a lamentable loss of life and otherwise bodily injury, there seems to be a prevail- ing opinion among the Protestant portion of the com- munity, that, with a government constituted asis that of Canada at present, they must suecumb to a domi- nant Roman Catholic ascendancy, unless they take the law in their own hands, and forcibly protect themselves in the free exercise of their religious and civil rights as British subjects. Hence we find the supporters of Gavazzi accompanying him from Que- bec to Montreal, armed to the teeth, afterwards at- tending the church at which he was to lecture, simi- larly prepared to resist aggression, and discharging fire-arms at those who assailed the place of meet- ing; afterwards, a Protestant assemblage appoint- ing a committee of vigilance, to see that the guilty parties are punished, and, subsequently, the Com- mon Council of the city determining to place fire- arms in the hands of the police, religious and political animosity being so universally prevalent in the community, that the swearing in individuals, however respectable, as special constables, would be placing the authority of peace officers in the hands of that number of partizans who, if taken from one party would, it is to be feared, use the power with which they bad been invested for the infliction of wrong and injury upon the other; and if of differ- ent political views or religious sentiments, who might use their batons on the heads of each other. This is a deplorable state of society, which is aggravated by a numerous Orange faction, which the government and legislature have found it impossible to restrain, whose members annually have their public processions, although at one time they were prohibited by law, until at length it was deemed advisable to repeal it. The existence of such a body —an offshoot of those which have been pro- ductive of so much bad feeling in Ireland—must naturally perpetuate animosity among the lower and more iguorant portion of the Irish population, who seem to be the most easily excited portion of the population of every country in which they are established. The remedy for a state of things which must injure the credit, retard the advancement, and prevent the extensive settlement of Canada, is, in the first place, with the people themselves, who, by merging their political and religious differences, in a patriotic de- sire to promote the best interests of the Province, would give to Anglo-Saxon energy and enterprise its Proper ascendancy, which, aided by the capitalists of England, are beginning to be developed in the construction of railroads, which in themselves must effect a wonderful revolution in Lower Canada, and introduce an extensive British population. It is for the British government, however, to act with promp- titade and vigor, and probably no event would be Productive of greater benefit to the colonies, or be more satisfactory to their well-wishers in the United Btates, than their consolidation—each Province hav- ing its local legislature, resembling the States of this Union, with a general legislature, similar to the American Congress, to assemble annually at Quebec, for the enactment of laws of general operation. DePAaRTURE OF THE British Frigate LEANDER. —The British frigate Leander, Capt. E. St. Vincent King, which brought over the Earl of Elleamere, the Royal Commissioner to the Crystal Palace Exhibi- tion, left port yesterday for Halifax. The Sardinian Frigate San Giovanni. The police ineident which marked the sojourn of the San Giovansi at this port bas been the subject of in- quiry in the Chamber of Deputice at Turin, in its seseion ef the 8th of June. We find it thus reported :— M. de Viry questioned the Minister en the subject of the arrest of an efficer of the royal Piedmontese navy, in consequence of a warrant issued by the American au- thorities of New York. The President of the Council answered that he bad not reeeived any official report on the subject, and that he believed the fact ineorrect, the United States Minia- ter at Turin having informed him that no communica. tion had been sent to him in that respect.

The Sewing Girls. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Dea Sir—Permit thefhumble writer, whe is a ‘working woman, to return you thanks, yes, thousands ef thanks, of the workirg females of this city, for I enly oehe their heartfelt thanks to you, in devoting 1e mush of your valuable journal in behalf of the working wemen of thig city. Their grievances are mapy—to portray them in their true light would occupy page after page. Yet many journals of this city, who talk loud abeut slavery and suffering abroad, w1il not coudescend;te give ene glance around themselver, in their very midst, and see the suf- fering and slavery of the working wowen of this , im eonrequence of the sterving prices which they recet+e for their labor. They not only toil a long day, but half the night, to make w icanty «us ister ce ss it is true there are « few exceptions in seme establish- ments, but they sre £0 very few, it i+ on/y like a spear of Tare to the starving caacal in the sandy desert, But to see the valuable Hernan ready te herald forth some of the working woman's wrongs, has gladdened many of the hearts of those who have been eloud- ed in despair of avy red-ess in their behalf, for they have expected nothing but toil, toilon, and die. Who are Ab, only s poor working woman of no consequence. Not the child of prosperity Let them coil; they are to work; but they ash «fair remuneration for that labor. The working females have thought it ne use te try for redress in their grievances, as no journal took up their eure, whilst there wax a complete revolution in all the journals in benalf cf the working man, This was very right, at the rame time they should not forget the work- ing woman, and their starving prices for labor. ‘Yet there is hope left, a bright star hes appeared to shire in their bebalf; it is like raim to the drooping plant; if it will not entirely cure the disease, it will revive for = while. There is still a tittle hope left, for the working woman may ebeer up when the journal independent, the valuable Heratp. bas uvforled its valuable eolumns in behalf of the working females of this city. Dear rir, pardon this intrusien on your precious time, the wrongs of woman I hope will plead my apology. Tam, with great respect sir, your humble servant, CATHARINE Di No. 372 Bleeeker street.
