THE RECIPROCITY TREATY- Whe Fisheries—Opinions of the Treaty Mm the Provinces, déc., dic. the Toronto Globe, dune 20.) PROTRCTION FOR THE FISHERIES. Mr. Robert Christie hae SoS notice that he will | move an address to His yong d the Governor- General, ‘representing that from the great number of United States mtg craft, yaualy engaged in the fisheries of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and their frequent resort, as well for shelter in rough and stormy weather, to the harbors on our coasts, Gaspe , 48 in many instances unlawfully to fish the limits reserved by treaty exclusively to her Majesty's subjects—ithabitants on the coast, destitute of anything like a police force to maintain erder and the , or even to defend themselves against brute violence (if such were offered by the hordes constituted of the crews of those craft whea im port,) are frequently overawed by them and at mercy, or without the least means of resisting them, or preventing the disorderly doings in which ‘they sometimes are disposed, and threaten to in-, two the great annoyance aud terror the peaceable inhabitants. That the in- habitants having cause to complain on this head, consequently evoke for the prevention of evils and their consequences, for protection to the government, and ae ore his Ex- @elency’s immediate action to that effect, by taking Measures with as little delay as may be, for reflliz- 4 vigilant and efficient land and water police for weing the laws aud the maintenance of order among the craft and crews thereof, domestic or for- eign, restoring to the harbors or coasts ingthe Gaspe district, and for the protection ot the inhabitants of ‘the said coasts and harbors; representing moreover to his Excellency, that until such time as an efficient Rolice force can by law be established, and ade- qmately organized on the aforesaid coast, that the @onstant presence, during the summer months, of ene of her Majesty's ships of war thereat, particu- larly.in the Bay of Gaspe, for the preservation of Order and protection of ner Majesty’ subjects resi- dent onthe coast and in the said Bay, is iudispen- sably necessary; and end humbly .praying hia Bxeelleacy will be graciously pleased to take, with ail convenient despatch, the necessary steps for ze- euring to them temporarily, the desired protection, by procuring, if possible, the presence of a ship of war in the said Bay, forthe aforesaid purposes, dur- fing the present and folk summers, or until such time as provision therefor is made by the Le- g@slature, and an adequate police consequently es- tablished, under the authority of the Provincial goy- *roment.”” [From the Toronto Colonist.] Qvuesec, June The Prospects of the Rec ity Meavur undland Excluded from its Benefits, abstract of the Reciprocity Treaty which I forwarded yesterday, will have conveyed to the pub- Rec the reliable particulars of a measure more im- portant to the material interests of Canada than any thing that has been obtained at any previous period of our hi: It is, however, not less im- portant to the United States. There was fend than ‘ne reason for the exclusion of Newfoundjand from the benefits of the treaty. There is som® question whether France has not reserved some special rights fm that quarter; and in the presence of Ath a dotbt fsland could not be admitted as a party to the ‘éaty. However, the question is one which may be @teated up; apd arrangements may be made for the edmiseion of Newfoundland. Another difficulty is, ‘that Newfoundland draws much of its revenue from dnties on flour and other agriculturr! products im into the island; and its becoming a party to treaty would canse a diminution in the revenue fer which some legal provision would have to be The Newfoundland Legislature has laid it down a8 a condition of that island becoming a party to the treaty, that the Americans shall repeal their ‘bounties to fishermen. The treaty does not provide for the abolition of this bounty, but it is understood that the boun ties will hereafter be abolished. The convention of delegates on the subject of the reciprocity treaty, will meet in this city during the @ammer. The several provinces interested will be represented; Newfoun 4 not excepted, I believe. ‘Whe ratification of the treaty will be required from the Legislatures of the Provinces, as well as the Wnited States Senate. Of the latter body, two- thirds must vote for the treaty. [ believe it is pret- ¥. well ascertained that the treaty will meet no se- obstacle in its passage through the Senat ‘Dhrough our own Legislature it may not pass with- gut some slight opposition from particular interest». ‘Ittis difficult to conceive how any Upper Canada ermhes will have the hardihood to oppose it. Mr. bord, or some other member interested in ship- building, may object to the treaty, on account of its net procuring for colonial buiit vessels free Ameri- ean pegisters; but any serious or extensive opposi- Sion need not be anticipated. ‘the reason for excluding salmon, shad and shell- fish is, that they are river fish; the deep sea and fisheries being thoze made subject of recipro- And because these fish are not to be made wabject reciprocity, the vi 1s of one nation are netto fish inthe mouths of rivers belonging to the other. The reason for making the 36th parallel of north Setitade the limit to which British vessels may fish dm American waters, is said to be a desire to kee} wuch veesels from a position where they might a!- ford facilities for the escape of American slaves. {From the Galt Reporter, June 16.) In last week's issue we stated in a few lines that reciprocal free trade between the United Sta and Canada had been secured,and that Lord JIgin bad signed the treaty at Washington. This is so far sorrect, though the treaty yet remains to be ratified the Senate and House of Representatives, and Legislatures of the Colonies. There remains Betie doubt (bat this measure, which will be found ef great anvantage to Canada, will ultimately be- ome law ; and it will be seen by the Governor Generalla speech that the Legislature of the Province will be immediately called upon to enh is. Under the treaty rice and tobacco will be ad- by Canada, and coal by the Americans; the Ve go of Be seren and thé Peet | Btates would be mnt advantageous; that | would remove the duties on oil, ood- fish, berrmgs, sealgkins, salmon, pickled and dried fish, then the United States bread, flour, ig corn, | meal, and butter, should be admitted daty free in | Newfoundland. ff this arrangement ebould not be | agreed to, that then a duty of six per cent should H be levied on the several articles mentioned, on im- portation into either country reapectively. On either of these arrangements being made, American fishermen to be admitted to a full and free partici- pation in the fisheries of Newfoundland, as the fame are now or may be hereafter enjoyed by Bri- tish subjects, the United States government aho- lishing all bounties to their fishermen. The House then resolved that a member of their own body should be delegated to attend the convention, to represent the opinions and protect the interests of the colony. It thus appears that Newfoundland is prepared to throw open its fisheries on terms almost as Miperal as those proffered some time since by Prince Edwards Island. (From the St. John, N. B., News, June 21.) THE ELGIN TREATY. It will be seen that it isa one sided affair—or rather, our neighbors are going to have two sides of the triangle, while pe Bluenose must put up with what is left, a third of the benefits. In considera- tion of parting with our fiishery reservation, the American markets are to be opened to our fishermen. A great boon this to Bluenose, compared with the price to be paid. Again, our neighbors are to have the free navigation of the St- Lawrence; but they are not prepared to give the Canadians the use of the New York canals, in common with themselves. Another exchange for our fishery pavleees, ia that our neighbors will allow us to fish in their waters, but we are not tobe allowed to take their shad. That is to say, we can have the shells of the nut, d can markets ? , what are they by the side of the freedom allowed to shipptn interest either to sell or sail in any porta? Granted again, that Great ae has made these liberal regulations not to oblige the United States, but to increase the welfare of her own people ; yet there these re; ms are, and if the Americans do not see fit to copy them for their own benefit, they cannot refuse to reco, them when considering the freedom allowed each nation to the commercial operations of the other. There has been, perhaps, too much of a disposi- tion shown by our people and our government to beg for this reciprocity. For our part, while we pa it, we certainly do not valine it as a favor ; but as one of those agreements for mutual benefit, which both parties luze by neglecting. If it is not made the United States and t! rovince will still be cut ont from profitable ex ges that they might make with each otber ; but certainly what we shall be deprived of will not augment the profit of the United States. ‘What Is to be Done with Canada? [From the London Times, June 17.) * * * * * - * What are we to do with Canada? Are we to pro- claim it independent at once? Are we to go on for a generation or two more on & cork: jacket system, telling it coolly that it must manage but the meat we must not think of touching. The registry of our vessels, or the coasting trade, is not tobe thought of by Bluenose. He must put up with what he can get. Jonathan wants the fish, and that is all about it. Besides, England cannot afford to quarrel with America at this time. It is better to sacrifice the interests of the Provinces, than pat in jeopardy the peaceful relations subsisting between the two nations. Yes; but each Province is to have avoice in the matter. So has the malefactor a voice in his trial. The Judge says to the victim of the law—‘“have you anything to say why death should not be pronounced upon you?” The prison- er, if not fond of being hanged, will, of course, say “Yes;” and ask the clemency of the court. Just so with us. We will be consulted—asked why sen- tence should not be prononnced—and after all, be compelled to give up our fisheries. The modus ope- ravi will be this. The Governor General is anxious to have the difficulty adjusted. Canada has nothing, | or very little to gain or lose in the fisheries, The Canadians want emplyoment for their canals, hence their willingness to concede the navigation of the St. Lawrence. They want an outlet for their grain and agricultural produce. Reciprocity to them will te a boon. The Canadian Parliament will, there- fore, accept the treaty—“hook, line, boband sinker.” The Governor General being omnipotent in British America, and head of all the other Governors, will force the treaty upon Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; for our Governors @qually anxious to conciliate Jonathan, having received, no doubt, their instructions from England,) have only got to work upon their Executive Councils, (as in the case of the Halifax and Quebec Railway affair,) in order to get trem to work upon the Legislature, and carry their mcasure. The treaty will, therefore, be wales by each of the Provinces, in spite of the well under- stood wishes of the people, whether they be for or against it. Now hi ngland, in her liberality, given Jonathan the whole of New Brunswick, there would be some show of reason in the transaction, for, in this event, we should have somebody to look to,in case of our rights being invaded again by a distant power, even though that power were Eag- land herself. She has not done this, however; but she has opened a tremendous big door beween the Colonies and the United States, for while the Elgin treaty paves the way for uniting the interests of the two countries, it will also serve to remind Blue- nose that England has own, 80 old and powerful, that she cares much less for her sucking children than she does for her oldest boy, Jonathan, who is now the right arm of her commercial strength and greatness. [From the Montreal Herald, Jane 30.} RECIPROCITY IN THE UNITED STATES. We recently published some articles on this sub- ject from United States papers, in which it was at- tempted to be shown that all the advantages of the treaty were on our side; and that the United States in their commercial relations with England were treated with a barbarous illiberality, worthy only of Chinese exclusiveness, For our part, we can see nothing in either argument. It is true, we regard the treaty as of great importance to ourselves; not because Canada gets more than she gives, bu‘, simply, because it removes existing obstructions to that intercourse which is advantageous to botl. par- ties who engage in it. The barbarous notion i+ that which foolishly takes it for granted that a trade can be profitable to one party and not to the other, though a grain of common sense would show that whatever treaties may be made, no commercial transaction can take place between two citizens of different countries, each at liberty to do as he pleases, unless each finds his accountin it. The treaty then, if carried out, can only be operative in this way—that it wiilleave the Canadian subjects of Victoria and the citizens of the United free to traneact with each other certain profi business, from which they are now debarred. It will compel no one to engage in a single bargain ; and as no individual engaged in the traffic can be made to suffer loss, it will be hard to see how loss can come to the rest of either nation, who may have nothing to do with it. So much for the general question ; now as to details. It appears to us that the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, and the fisheries, are at any rate an equivalent for any fa- vor shown to our produce going into American markets. To this must be added, Noweres; the free admission to our markets of the very important ar- ‘Waheries will be opento American vessels, and the markets of the United States to our produce; tho ‘@anadian rivers will be open to American vessels, and Lake Michigan to Canadian vessels; and in all probability the American canals will be « :ened to our vessels. We trust that thia treaty, so jong de- wing ct will be i ‘ es without los: of ‘ime; and that the producers of th, try will be welieved from the tax which in years bac has pre- vented them reaping a proper remuners! oo for Their labor. {From the Halifax Sun, June 14.)

Join to all this the con- sideration, that even of tkose articles, which we likely to send in largest quantities to the States, the States are themselves rival producers, and they in many seasons find it as advantageous to send here, and the balance of favor can hardly be sown to preponderate on our side, even in this subordin- ate respect. Besides, it is not merely a question of seasons. There are localities, wh@re the export of articles, which, npon the whole, is from Cadada, is pretty constantly the other way; for with the soil and climate co alike as that of the two frontiers, it upon which they lie, there should not be frequent instances of the conditions which belong to one point being reversed at another. It is something more extraordinary to allege the great favors that have been shown to Canada al- ready. Itiatrue that our goods pass backwar's and forwards throngh the territories of our republic, and we, who believe that there can be no new fre.- dom given to commerce without benefit to tho: concerned, have no doubtthat a great benefit thence accrues to Canada in general. But benefit of Canada was never Seo by the fending a: i warehousing laws of the United States.

Stop, far-sighted spinner of logical alter- natives and political impossibilities, Spare your- selfthis load of fruitiess inquiry. Use your heart tosave your head. Submit to be generous, simple avd kind. A grain of common feeling will help you more than a ton of uncommon philosophy. Not once, but a dozen times, during the last thirty years, the provinces of British America have imposed on our rulere the choice between a little anda great deal of wisiom. Some of the most ainful instances were considerately brought up on ureday night in the Lords; and if by any chance the same things could again occur, and same knots have to be solved or cet, it may easily be seen how those Lords would decide them. Happily the British Parliament has dealt as it ought to do with two millions of our own fellow- subjects, having not less claim to our considera: tion than the same number of us who sit still at home, but rather more. We have done to them as Englishmen in all ages have insisted on others doing to themselves. We have gone on the plan of letting them manage their own affairs as much as possible, granting their reasonable demands, as far as Canada itself was concerned, and in other respects submitting Canadian as well as British interests to those laws which control the common weal of nations. We have run what we were told were great risks. We were told that it was dangerous to give Canada self-government— even the measure that it already enjoys, We were told that we must continue to govern it; in Orange fashion, by an exclusively British faction; that we must continue to secure the loyalty of two millions on the other side of the Atlantic by showing the smallest possible consideration for them; we were to insult and degrade the patriotic, and, by way of set off,create some knavish sort of class iute- rests; we were to make the St. Lawrence a line of military posts, of an exclusive traffic, and an artificial manufacture; we were to ‘petuate every grievance that rankled in the Cana- dian breast, and, even if an overbearing fac- tion had: ehown some ne of human kindness, we were to go along with it in its subsequent angry and dishonest recantation. There is nothing in- genious and wicked, prescient and suspicious, elaborate and vindictive, pompous and mean, that we have not been asked to do in Canada; and, if we had done but a tithe of it, Canada might indeed still have been ours, but it would have been ours to our cost and discredit; ours to our perplexity and dis- aster; ours to show the world how ill a use we can make of so great a blessing, and what singular in- humanity we can show to those who have such claims on our kindness and respect. Time bes brought round another of these occa- sions, and the opportunity was eagerly seized on Thursday night to remind us that confidence isa conrecutive policy, and that if we are asked todo @ generous and natural thing, it is becanse we have been so imprudent aa to do the like before. It is impossible to interpret Lord Ellenborough’s speech otherwise than as a sarcasm, for we cannot suppose that a nobleman who, blessed with a little brief authority, showed such readiness to annex alien and semi-barbarous populations with whom we portess no. community of manners or religion, could really be in a hurry to cast off and fling over to another rule several millions of our actual kith and kin. The sarcasm is, that we have made these people soindependent that we may as well make them quite so, since what is left of the connection may compromise but cannot benefit us. Therefore either draw the cord tighter, or cut it altogether. If a more serious meaning was intended—if the authority of Huskisson was pravery Tivakes, and the opinion of Lord Metcalfe really thought to the purpose, never did device so recoil on its author. The colony which a quarter of a cen’ ago Mr, Hurkisson thought on eve of separation vas one governed on the principles of coercion and asult. On the pretence of a sounder religion and loyalty, a few families divided the spoils of office and power; and revenne and territory were alike squandered on @ clique that made the name of England stink in the nostrils of the people. The compensation for a tyranny as costly and perilons to the mother country asit was disagreeable anc in- jurious to the colonial population was the sup- posed advantage of a market for our manufactures and commerce. Mr. Huskisson justly held this to be no advantage, but the contrary, he could contemplate without regret the gradaal weakening of a tie of which all that could be Es was, that perhaps it did as much harm to one ste as ea o~ Sar rd Metcalfe’s views 4 app! appily to a state of things it no longer exists, and which has ceased be- cause we have adopted the policy which Lord Malmesbury deprecates and Eora Ellenborough thinks fit subject for an elaborate sneer. The posi- tion of es Governor is, of course, open to sarcasm. The state of things on that continent contrasta rather feebly with greater disp!.ys of policy and power now exciting so much intercat in id World. Lord Elgin is neither at war with his neighbours nor with hia own people.

The population, the trade, the shipping, the railways, the bridges, all the of improvement, are rapidly in- creasing. is very tame work, all the of course, because it is the result of letting thi alone, and of allowing heaven, for once, to take ita own course. We are aware that Lord Malmesbury would have done oe “much better, and that Lord Ellenberough would have made more show; but we are content with things as they are, and see no rea- fon to desist from that policy of reasonable conces- sion, of which the actual results are so far anex- ceptionadle. Letus go on as we are, that is, in the same course. Lord Ellenborough cannot worse of it than that it so nothing to talk about iow vy!

Effect of Closing the Grog Shops. ‘The temperance reformers are beginning to ascer- tain that there is some considerable force, life and effect in our present State laws relative to the liquor traffic. They now find that they can close every retail shop on Sunday, and prevent all grocera from retailing liquor. Our present Mayor has issued licenses quite liberally. Many have been arrested for selling under his license, and their case carried before the Recorder’s court. That officer has recent- ly decided that the Mayor has ne power to grant licenses to grocers; that his authority extends, un- der the laws of the State, no farther than granting tavern licenses, and to persons living in suitable laces, and who possess accommodations for travel- ra and their teams. Now in thia city, a dozen En Ben a unead ot Strmag "ate me Dane whereas, in: fo! 1e Ww 3 Mndiscriminate latitude haa been exercised. ‘The temperance men say that if they caa shut up the rum shops on Sunday, and prevent the sale except under an honest tavern license, pd can greatly di- minish the evil without reso. the stringent measures incorporated in the bill vetoed by the Governor at the last session. Some of our more rabid temperance men, threat- en to lay the case before the grand jury, to ascer- tain whether our Mayor has not overstepped the bounds of duty in granting licenses. If the Recor- der’s decision ie correct; that none but inns or taverns are allowed under the law, to dispense in amall quantities, then the question afises whether the Mayor is amenable to indictment for issuing licenses to the low groggeries upon the docks. The temperance people have never undertaken before, to see that our present State laws are en- forced, and they find from the efforts already made, that nearly all the monstrous evils of intemperance can be subdued, if the ‘istrates are compelled to enforce the laws. They have heretofore remain- ed a dead letter upon the statutes, merely because nobody took the res; bility of enforcing them. The example set on toot in this city, should be fol- lowed all over the State. More good can be ac- complished by living up to the laws as they now are, than by undertaking to Une) others which al- low private houses to be searched, and property to be destroyed without compensation. Let the honest and reliable friends of temperance think of this matter. A. Political InveDigence. MOVEMENTS IN 1OWA—BENTON FOR THE PRESIDENCY. It is rumored on very good grounds, that secret organizations have been instituted in this State, as well asin ager peri of the Northwest, to help the cause of free soil and disunion, and bring about, if possible, the election of Benton for President and Seward for Vice President. It is stated that a meet- ing to effect this was held at Fort Madison last week, attended, as was very fit, by Morgan, of Barlington, Dr. Walker, and other disappointed, rancorous cha- racters, who would rejoice in the rain of all that was noble, ff thereby they could forget for a while their own debasement. Of course, there were but few at the meeting, and their seared are not public. The authors will ly deny them; but we have ae authority for saying that what we have intimated is only an inkling of what has already been accomplished. ry one knows how trippingly the Northern traitors are now talking of disunion; how ftippantly they prate of Canada and the “United States North,” and Cuba and the “United States South,” and how uublushingly oy say that they will vote for any man of any po- uscal creed, who wil: aprocemn their plans, and wage war ouoarelentingly against South and slavery. The traveller upon our Northern railroads and rivers is shocked to tind that this is the Prevaaling topic; that the infamous and traitorous ceria. of disunion is talked of as flip- pantly and pub! wee the price of stocks or the annexation of a Territory. There is one staunch consolation behind it all; and that is hat the travel- ling public is not the American people, nor the pro- per exponent of it, The hands that have Such traitors before, and willagain, are at the plough and the plane and the fc j the calm voice that controls our destiny has not yet been heard upon golden harvest of te fact expanse of out happy and golden of vast expanse of our yy an united country.

Should any of the seven millions given to Mexico find its way into the banks about the same time, an impetus will be given tortocks which will be quite refreshing to the bulls Still, so long as our exports of specie continue as large a8 they have been, no permanent improvement can be ex pected. We have received a funny pamphlet »busing the Cum- verland Coa! Company, and published over the modest signature of Civis. The authorship and the animus are equally evident to ail who are familiar with the recent | operations in that stock. We fear it will produce acon- | trary impression to that intended by the writer. A bull | } may be excused for puffing a stock; but when a bear un- dertakes to write one down, suspicion at once attaches to his motives. If Cumberland be worthless, Civis can either let it alone or sell it short; in the first case he loses nothing—in the second he makes money. But whichever he does, it is either folly or waste of time for | him to abuse it in print. This is the course adopted by | men who sell a stock short without any ground for be lieving it to be bad; and it does not need the eye ofa wizard to perceive that our venerable friend Civis has dealt thus with Cumberland. So long as the sales of €oal justify the importations of the management, we pre- sume such trashas that published by Civis will do no harm to any one, and no good to any but the printer. | ‘The following in the official statement of deposits and coinage at the mintof the United States, Philadelphia, during the month of June, 1854: | Gold Bullion Deposited.
