The Defence of Canada. In the House of Commons on the 27th of Merch Lord Elcho said he would take an opportunity on Tuesday, the 4th of April, to move for papers and extracts of cor- responcence relative to the defences of Canada, Bentimcx rose and moved the adjourninent of the Hot He did so, he said, because he was anxious to have from the government some answer to the appeal which ha?) been made to them by hig noble friend the member for Haddingtonshire, Since the discussion poe the defences of Canada had taken place information had reached this country by which the whole cjrew of the case were entirely altered. One of the objections which he on 8 former occasion took to the scheme of the government, was that they had given the House no as- surance that the government of Canada wes an agsentin, party to the proposed arrangements. It now camaren that that government distinctly stated that they were not assenting parties to it, and that they took exception to the amount of the grant, which was intended to be given by this country for the defence of the Canadian frontier. nder these altered cirenmstances he wished to know whether another opportunity of discussing the question would be afforded by the government? Mr. Carpwett did not krow what authority the hon- gentleman had for saying that the Canadian ernment objected to the proposed scheme. No in- Seaton to that ¢ffect had reached him, nor did he believe ‘the statement to be covret. On the contrary, he thought it would be found that the Canadian government would bo satisfied with the plan which had mn sketched out by her Majesty’s Miniter although no despatch had reached him on the poiut which he would be justified in . Lord Patugrstox—My noble friond the member for Haddingtonshire stated, co far as we could make out, owing to the hum of conversation, that he wished the vote for the fortifications tp be postponed, but that if it would be inconvenient to do that ho would mako a distinct motion on Tuesday next in which he would raise the whole question of the defences of Canada. Now, we accepted the latter altornative (a laugh), and you, sir, afterwards put from the chair the vote for pensions to. wounded officers, Lord Ercuo said his noble friond had clearly stated what had taken place when he first rose to put a question to the government. No answer had, however, been as et given by his noble friend to that question. (Hear, ear.) He would also remind the for the Colo- pies that the real point at issue was not whether Canada ‘was prepared to accept or not a certain sum as the cost of the proposed fortifications, but whether there was a clear understanding between tle two governments as to the proportion which ‘each was to bear. He thought he would Pea to Lp that there was a =. prey bray am- 4 ity and discrepancy existing on the subject en the two governments, and he hoped if he was unable to bring on his motion on Tuesday next he would have an. peers of dbing co on the following Thursday, which would, in all probability, be a supply night. Mr. Caxpwett oxpiained that he did not say that he had received from Canada any despatch accepting the proven of the government. at he did say was that 10 Was not aware of a which would justify the honorable member for West Norfolk in stating that the Canadian government had expressed dissatisfaction with their proposal, or had refused to perform their partin she defence of their country.

When the news was received that the President was in Richmond, occupying Jeff.’ late residence, every heart leaped with exuitation.

SIERMAN ABOUT TO ENTER UPON ACTIVE OPERATIONS. Depend upon it that Sherman is not to remain idle, He is about to enter upon another earopaign, in which all o& the confederacy that is under Joe Johnston will’ soon be extinguished, and then there will be nothing left for him and Grant to do but to sit down aud sigh that there are ‘no more worlds to conquer."” % GUBRILLA OPERATIONS, A small band of rebels made ance on the north bank of the Neuse river yesterday morning, about nineteen miles up the river from here, and burned a email side-whee! steamer, the Mingnas, and two barges, all three of them being loaded with supplies for Sherman's army. The steamer hed on board hard tack and the barges were mostly loaded with oats. . Perhaps the steamer was worth $30,000 or $40,000. The boats were boarded by aparty of five men, who were protected by a larger party on shore, who their appear. taj | bad the boats in range, Tho captata, engineer and em- ployes generally on the boais escaped by” jumping into the water and swimming or wading ashore, Aside from this (and this was comparatively of no conseqrence) there has been no interrup. tion of Sherman’s communications, Everything is going on finely, and Merman’s army is .now abundantly supplied in every rape. The men have been thoronghly reclothed, and look like new recruits in their freshly donned attire, It is the sheerest folly tor the enemy ‘to attempt to disturb communications, for * jor Gen.
