A fow weeks ago we had « gran‘ fiesta of three days duration, to celebrate the re-election of Santa Anna to Gupreme power. It commenced om San‘ay witha grand military and civic procession, and ended on Tuesday evening with a grand display of fireworks, which was the best part of the programme. High mass was cele- brated im the church morning sn‘ evening, and the aid of the Virgin Mary particularly solicitedin behalf of his most Serene Highness. Un/ortunately, the picture of his Serene Higness was elevated on a frame some sixty feet high in the midst of the freworks, and as the rock- ets amd serpents blazed aroun! it, » serpent darted through it and set it on fire, which was considered very ominous.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORBESPOMLENT: Susrmnsios Briar, Niagara Falls in sight. James Gonvon Baxwerr, Esq, :— Having undertaken to furaish the Naw Yorx Heratp with @ series of letters om the subject of Canada West—a subject so Nitle understood in the United States—I date my first from Suspemsion Bridge, the ew gateway to Canada, amd the crowning seal to the re- ciprocity treaty. I have been up into the interior for « few days, on » tour of exporation, and I have been amazed at the developement which has beem witnessed during the past few years, of the agricultural and com- mercial resources of this part of the continent. I have made collections of nearly all the goverament reports that have appeared concerning the affairs of Canada West; and on examination, they prove far more satis- factory than such reports as are issued by our Legisla- tures, or by the federal government at Washingten. They are more thorough, they are brought out quicker, and they bring things up tos later date, They seem to be thoroughly done, aad they will prove exceedingly valuable in scatteriog information among the people of the United States, through the columns of the New Yor Haraip; for it has long been true that the American people have relied so much upon the Hsxacp a8 a souree of late, and fresh, and reliable information im regard to the new subjects, that every call of this description must be answered in your usual way. My first leter will be only on genoral subjects. First of all, then, Iam yet to find a man whois dissatisfied with the present political relations and condition of Canada; andI have conversed with professional and practical men in every department of life; and they al agree in the belief that a new era of progress and im- provement has opened for the Canadas, and they can now stretch their arms of enterprise in all direstions, and develope their reeources not only with unbounded freedom, but with the direct aid and favor of the Home Empire, avd with all the capital that the London bank- ers may be called on to advance. In some recent and important movements, it has been ascertained thet money can be raised to any amount for the internal im- provements of Canada, from the bankers of London, with more readiness than they come forward to make loans to the government at home. England bas sent over to Canada her very best engineers; They have constracted great works. They have expended anecaormous amount of money, but they have been wise and jadicious ia what they have done, and while railroads are penctrat- ing the Canadas, they carry along with them mew atreams of electric fire to diffase a more vigorous and active spirit of creative industry. The reciprocity treaty, too, has suddenly removed a vast number of commercial restrictions, which, having thelr origin in a state of hostile feeling between the two countries, have been perpetuated only because politi- cians and statesmen have Isgged behind the people in adhering to those maxims of government, and those an- tiquated notions of antiquity which stand directly im the way of modern progress. It is s mattor rather of congratulation than of complaint that the United States receive more advanteges from this treaty than the Ca- nadians themselves; but it is only because we are a larger people, with greater enterprise and a more rapid and efficient mode of doing business, Canada row has all that abe asks, except that the Custom Houses them- selves be sold at auctioa, and a whole army of of- fice-bolders be sent out to till her soil. They will soon be clamoring, I em told, inall quarters, for an addition- al clause to the reciprocity treaty which wi them from avast number of unnecessary aanoyaa in passing their products, and imports aud exports, across the frontier. I am told that taree-quarters of the business on the Weiland ship canal is American busi- ness, and accrues to the advantage of the United States. My reply is, that even this is too small a proportion of aavantage, because we bave more then four times the population—four times the territory—four times the wealth, and ten times the enterprise, I met a newsboy on the Canada side, whose face seemed familiar to mo— one of those bright-eyed, dashing fellows who sell news- papers and magazines in the United States rai'road cars. asked bim if the Canadians allowed the Yankee boys to come over to sell newspapers and books in ths cars of the Great Western Railway? wei Xeh tit; they nave bo) sendifor uni teishow: them ow.” 4nd then Tadded, ‘(They will probably send you off when they have learned.” “Ah, but,”’ said the boy, ‘that will be, some time yet, and then we shall be sent for to show them how to do zomething else.”? The remark created quite a laugh in the car, and the little fellow was so fair a specimen of “Young America” that even Englishmen and Canadians who were present Jooked upon him with admiration. There are some vil- Isnous arrangements about charges around Suspension Bridge, for passing over it, and for refreshments, which Ishall speak of bereafter if they are not corrected. Very few of your readers have any adequate concep- tion ct that great wonder of modern art, the Sus Bridge. 1t seems like » dream that baunts the mianight fancy, even after you have passed over it with an im- mense train ot cere. It is worth writing a whole letter about, and I shall do it in a few dsys. The Suepension Bridge is but a continuation of the Air Line Railway from Rochester to that , and from Suspension Bridge it is but a continuation of the Great Western Railway; woich will, at no distant pericd, be completed from Halifax to Detroit. The trains are now Tupning with perfect regularity, and taking an immense number of passengers who are on their way from New York to Detroit and Chicago, {t being the straightest and awiftest mode of travelling. But the Cenadians, with all ‘the help they get from the Yankees, have by no means yet succeeded—nor was it to be expected that they ehovld so soon—in equaili ‘the perfection of the ar- jwments on the Great tral and New York Rail- Since the consolidation of these lines, and the election of Mr. Corning, of Albany, as President, ne has Cevoted bis personal attention to a system of communt- cation; and it is the oaly system we have in the United States.

St, Catharines is one of most interesting towns in Canada West, occupying a pegeiiomns position on the table Isnd around whose bluff the Welland canal sweeps —it bas a fe en of ten thousand. It receives the tribute of the Western Railway, conuesting it directly with the Suspension Bridge twelve miles on the east, and with Detroit on the west.

There is to be a grand celebration here on the 13th of June, when the Stephenson House is to be opened. It will be attended by the Governor General and other distinguished of- ficera, besides bad fey of eminence from the United States. The house is a colossal structure, built near the Artesian spring, and with the vast amount that has iy been ju expended upon it leaves nothing to be suggested. It ises to combine all the elegance and luxury ef a ern hotel in , With the supe- rior comfort, stability amd economy which English et long been invalids for the benefit of its mineral waters ; but the accommodations have been hitherto altogether inadequate, and the people of St. Catharines have united with one of i jeading and richest citizens (ifr. enson, formerly from Massachusetts,) in eonst: the finest house of the kind that now exists at any watering place in the United States.

The duty of a civil magistrate in ordinary cases of riot is well defined.

A frag- ment of s company was at first arrayed agaiast « mo! which had been exasperated by the continuous firing of a balf dozen police officers, and thisfeeble show o| strength of course only excited atill further the pasaiont of the mob. Another company was called out, ani this timo, instead of displaying thelr force to the rioters and making an attempt to clear the street, they were march- ed into the be Gad store through one door, and were im- mediat to fire upon the crewd which had coi- lected about another door.

How- ever this may be, we can only decide by an examination of the statutes of Maine.

He took a ge hammer to kill a fly, and the consequences of the indiecreet act were ¢: ble in the extreme, and will probably react upon bis own head, [From the Portland Argus, June 5.] Our readers will recollect with t earnestness we opposed the election of Mr. Dew, wan of his violent and indiscreet character was wholly ual ume the responsible duties of the Mayor of a city, and particularly to undertake the execution of a new law, extremely stringent in its provisions and severe in ita penalties. despotic character and repulsive manner of action we felt would almost make an unob- jectionable law odious; but with such slaw for him to execute, we could not rid ourselves of the impression that his election would be dangerous to the peace and good order of eur city. We pointed to the acts of his previcus administration ag an indication of the charac- ter of proceeding we muet look for from him if again elected, and that with the more stringent law, which, of course, would require greater prudence in its execution, it would be next to impossible for him to get through the year without disorder and violence. In addition to all this, we pointed to the significant fact that, in every mm which Mr. Dow had previously held which c! ‘on him power to be executed, be had always d trouble, always excited bitterness and quar- relling. Mr. Dow's friends could not deny these facts. His history waaa standing witness to their truth, and one that could not be gainsayed, How, then, did they meet us and attempt an answer? Why, they repliec that Mr. Dow had grown wiser; that bis previous experience hat taught bim s wholesome lesson, and that the good citi- zens of Portland m(ght now safely confide in his wisdom veo Mr Dow himeelf took and moderation. ains to utter similar sentiments, thus making an implied con. fession of past errors, and promising to avoid their repe- tition, This was no eatistact answer to us. le knew the trouble was in the constitution of the man— that Neal Dow was Neal Dow here and everywhere, and that what he had been, was that which he would be in—a Mayor reckless of law himself, and violent in the execution of it upon others. Feliow-citizens, have not our fears been more than realized? Has not the result proved that he is not wiser—that he is just what he always deen, only a little more so? It is with un regret that we have witnefsed his course since his election. We have foreborne heretofore to say much, because we have been in hopes from day to ds; to see an amendment of hiscourse. Wo trast that he would get better counsel and follow it; but in vain. He has gove from bad to worse, until he has ac- tually become the greatest violator of the Iaw he makes it his especial object to execute. The purobase of the $1,600 worth of Higuore without authority and in viola- ‘tion of law, with subsequent smaggling them upon the city after a warrant was issued for their seizure, capa the folly and disregard of propriety and law. Why did he not, like an honest, law-abiding citi- zen, after he saw the result of his heediess purchase, let the law take its course, and abide the result like a man? To have confessed his error and submitted cheer- fully to the penalty of the law, would have vindicated his sincere regard for law, and atone’ in a measure for the wrong. It is im vain for the Advertiser to say that he was au- thorized to purchase the liquor, azd that he did it in accordance with law.? If Mr, Dow bel'eved this story, now put forth—if his advisers, among whom is Mr. Carter, Judge of the Police Court, (and all know how he became Judge, how a court ‘was overturned by Messrs, Dow and Peck togive hun a place) we repeat. if Mr. Dow and his advisers, who were perfectly tamiliar with all the facts of the cese, believed the story, why were they afraid to risk the case before Carter? Would he do Mr. Dow injustioey Why did they fear this, if not because they knew the facts were so strong that even a pliant court could not scquit upon them without incurring the risk of impeachment? This is the only answer, and we therefore respectfaily appeal from the decision of Judge Carter in the Adver- er, to Judge Carter, as the adviser of Mr. Dow, and we submit that his acts in the latter capacity, and the acts of Mr. Dow and the Aldermen, are irreconcilably in conflict with the statement in the Advertiser. ‘Thie brings us to another point, to which we ask the considerate attention of the be Who wrote the statement in the Advertiser? Who is ft that in de- cidipg Mr. Dow’s case, and is justifying bim tl all Bis violent, and ae ay moll paket believe, illegal proceedings? We answer, Judge Carter. ge The Advertiser ae [Se apd Clark & Co. Mr. Carter was its editor up to the time of his appoint- ment as Judge, and still holds his interest in the con- cern, and is now its substantial editor and its chief di- rector, though not publicly 80. But the style of the article and the expressions it contains, show un- mistakably that Mr. Carter’s hand was in it. And now we ask if eversuch a thing was known in an nt co ity before? Let any man read what ted in that article, and see if they would need to trial of Mr. Dow coadjutors, to know Carter’s decision would be in their case. And yet they are liable to be brought before him for ex- inte! amivation on chargés involving the crime of murder or manslaughter. We say the like was never known, and it indicat lack of a due seuse of propriety, eat a of as it does iple, and s disposition to prosti- tute the judicial office to wicked purposes. We ask she com- Wupityfto look at the matter,and see if it is not anoutrage q] at. and right which merits effectual rebuke. Advertiser os a pretty direct tok upon us that the statements inthe Argus of Saturday tend- ed to create excitement and disturbauce. We cast back the imputetion as entirely talse, and worthy the source whence it esme. me 4 a pon Aek any man who passed through our streets on urdsy what was the chief topic of interest and excite- ment, so faras there was any, and you will in every case et for reply that it was the unprecedented and anjus- Gnade course pursued by the Board of Aldermen and the Police and its officers on Saturday afternoon, in reference to the liquor. Trae, we exposed thei! acts of Mr. Dow. Does that make us rosponsible in the least for the misdeeds of himself and friends on Saturday afternoon, in attem| to screen him from the legal consequences of market, or for any excitement that may grow out of such a on their part? Not in least, that we can see, Wo repel the imputation, therefore, as false aoe, part and particular, What we said had a0 such as is silanes by, Ja) tor. But on what ground can Judge and Mr. Dow excuse themselves? They have no escape for their folly and wrong doing. They excited the sasemblage, and then, aa we most firmly believe, life was uanecessarily sacrificed. We do not in any form or manner excuse or justify those who committed a breach of the laws in the atta oy the liquor store, but, om the ae uo- y, ualifiedly condema them; neither do wo justify ihe layer of the city, the Board of Aldermen, or tho Judge of Ise Police Court, for the course they havo pursued. We condemn the illegal acts of all, without reserve or qualification, aud we sincerely hope they all will receivo the penalty of every law which they have violated. This ts all sak, and we shail be content with nothing less. Not! less will preserve order and a respect for law. It must be understood that the highest as well as the lowest are amonabie to law. and that its penaltios as well aa its protection will be meted out, without fear or favor, to all alike, This is the only basis of tial peace and good order, and we are glad to believe that matters aro now in train to accomplish this object.

The Slavery Question in Nebraska, {From the Nebracka City News, May 25.) ‘The question of slavery or no slavery has at last been raised in regard to the southern portion of Nebraska. We have with us many Missourians and Virginiens Some of them have their slaves already here, who are amonget our most enterprising and popular citizens, and we are well aware that, though they say but litt'e in regard to the matter, they are bent upon establishing ‘the “peculiar institation” in Southern Nebraska, if it cam bedome by a majority vote. Em! its from the Southern States are moving here, south of the Platte, faster, perbaps, than any other style of settlers.

[From the Hertford Times, June 2. The last grand “hop”? of the season, by the inmates of the Insane Retreat in this city, was given last evening, June 1, These social parties are us confined to the fami not intended for the pleasure of the public. being the last one of the winter however, bis Excellency, Gov.

Now brought into the hall, under the influence of music, and impressed with the "idea that they were among a social party, bearing & part of the responsibility of its general good conduct, their deportment was unexceptionable. O¢ course all of them did not join in the dance, but full sets were formed of those who were se disposed, and they indulged in co- tillons and contra dances. Followmng each figure, the party were favored by sing- ing, and music om the piano. Several of the patie: baye excellent voices, and one of them especially—an old lady of Span descent, thoroughly educated in Paris—moved the keys with delicacy of touch that equalled the most pop Fynally, refresbments were served; and then the ‘‘Ele- phant Jupiter” was marched through the hall, to the great amusement of the spectators. It was an admi- rable personation, and a practical eye could not readily distinguish it from a “real live’? monster of trunk and tusbes. Jupiter bowed to the Governor and his lady, raised bis trunk gracefully in salutation to the audience, and ‘spoke to ’em’’ in that boarse voice rarely heard fave in the jupgles of the East, At ten o'clock a grand march to music concluded the festivities of the evening, and the large family retired in order to their respective apartments.

What can they say? When we had conceded that Ter- ritory to the free soiler. and they had the government in their own hands, why did they not pass a law prohibit- ing slavery? A rerolation to that effect was introduced and negatived. The reason is that those people have been let alone; they have had time for observation and reflection, and in their cool, deliberate judgment, s ma- Jority of them, in their Legislature assembled, deter- mined that it was not politic to probibit slavery; ‘that it might prove to be the best institution for tue State. Those of the southern and more fertile portions thought slave Inbor would be the most suitable and productive in thelr agricult: while those of the sterile north deemed it a curse. As no Missourians have interfered there, I should like to know how friend Greeley can ex plain such an extraordinary result. The result of our election he attributed wholly to the interference of the Missourians; and yet where there were no Missourians, and where we eupposed there were but free soilers, a resolution to prohibit slavery was negatived, and citizens are moving in with sla and public meetings are being hold in favor of slavery, and the principal paper im the Territory is ite strongeat vocate.
