GREA T BRITAIN. A hastily suiitinoned Cabinet Counsrl Was held in London on the 15th ult. Ministers were summoned by telegraph from the c‘o‘nntr‘y. The London Azluertister believes that urgent circumstatmes tetitttve to the Congress were the cause, and thinks it not improbable that the arrOgance bf the Pope tti chiming tor his Represent ative precedence over all the other Powers may have been one of tile points for the Cabinet‘s consideration. Another Cabinet Counsel was held on the 16th. .o0 The London Globe, in announcing the early return of Lord Clyde from India, says he w ill he succeeded as Comander-itt Chief by Sir Hugh Rose, that Cir William Mansfield becomes Chief Commander at Bomboy, and Major-Generals Malcolm and Spencer beads of the Madras DiVision. The ship Norfolk hail arrivt-d from Melbourne with £272,000 in gold. The renewed efforts in behalf ofthe Suez Canal attracted general attention. The London journals all disclaim 0p- posiltion to it on political gioaitds, but ridicule its feasibility as a commercial undertaking. Four sailors belonging to the American lhip Roscwell, b‘prague, were arrested for mutiny. The total of gold saved fron the Royall "d Charter now amounts to £275,000 The terms granted by the Directors of the Great Eastern for loan of £40,000 for six months, or iiiorgage 0n ttic vessel, are 75 per cent. per annuin. LATEST VlA LIVERPOOL. LONDON, dalurday. The London Daily News (city article) saysiz-fi-thc funds on Friday th‘e inani- mute, and rather flat, especially in the hf!ernoonâ€"â€"’I‘ltursday’s recovery of an eighth to a. quaiter was lost. TIM other "markets were affected by the realizations which have naturally followed the late rapid rise. The demand for money on _ Friday was bi‘iskcr, and there was less disposition among the dealers to take bills below the bank minimum. The London Times (city articles) says The improvement on the Paris Boursc caused Consuls to open on Friday with renewed buoyanee, but an apparent dil- pr'i'i'i'tTon on the part ofthe public to realize the profits at the end of the year, led to a subsequent decline, and the markets generally were dull at the close. lit the discount market there wasa slightly in- creased demand at previous rates. The account in the stock and share market, which was adjusted on Friday, was the heaviest that has occurred for a long time past. In foreign exchanges, drafts ane about the same. A project of a new Brazilian railway, with a a Govern- ment guaranty of 7 per cent., is about to be brought forward, under the title ofthe Sam Paulo Railway. It will run from the coast to the interior of Sam Paulo. The Times. iii its weekly remarks on the produce market, says that there has been a gotid business for the season, and some of the leading articles are showing an improvement, and that signs of an an improved conidcnce have been observable. The London Post, Lord Palmersion’s organ, asserts that if dc Lesseps obtains a firman from the Prrtg sanctioning the Suez Canal, he will have succeeded in severing Turkey front Egypt. If the firman confers on the Com'iany the abso-. lute possession in plain language, the so- rereignly of several miles of the banks i~ ceded, and the right conferred of erecting fortresses. It forms no part ofthe policy of England that the independence ofa friend- ly state shall be awarded. It forms no part of the interest of England to assist in carrying out a scheme wholly impractiâ€" cable, or of which the practicability would be shown in creating, for the especial beiiitits of France, Egyptian Dardnnelles, or an Egylian Gibraltar; and such . result, we may venture to add, is not yet contemplated by the statesi‘iianship of Lord Palmerston. FRANCE. The London Times’ correspondent at Aden says the port of Adool. in the Red Sea, has been ceded to France. and that a French vessel of war was shortly expected there to latte possession. The Forte had given permission to ‘build a Roman Catholic Church on the Island of Masowah, to be under the special protection of France.

It is not long,r since the Globe styled us “ Village Mtinol‘iausens.” Never, howuver, did We read such a false report as was given of the nomination at Newmarket. First ‘of all, it. states that there were four to one in favor of Mr. Wilson.“- This is not true , the majority was out a very small one. Again, the editor rates the Colonel for stating tltat “ J. S. M actionttld was recently the Attorney General for Lower Canada.” The Colonel said no. such thing. Again, the Colonel is reported to have said that ‘»‘»chre- sentatiou by Population was acted upon in England." Quite wrong; what the Colonel did say was, that England was fast recognising the principle, as was proved by the Reform Bills that had been passed or discussed. Will the Globe dare assert that such is not the case E~ If he do, then he. will show himself not only stupidly, ludicrously ig. noranl. of facts, but also an incorri- gibic dotard. Again, the Colonel is reported to have said that “t he was not in favor of ProtH(:lltt.n,I1€‘I-. tller waslio an advocate (if Rice I‘racle.” This is also utterly on- true. Ihc Colonel stated as plainly as possible that lie was against Protection, and tho uncom- protitising advocate of Free Trade. there are also other errors which we have not space to expose, but enough is exposed here to make the Globe an abborreucc to all honest men. But this is not all; the Grit: at that meeting uttered again with un- abashed countenance the thousand times exposed Muncliausens of the Globe newspaper. As to the charge of straddling the fence brought against the Colonel, it may be true of his opponent EMF. Wilson] but is not true of Col. Bercsford. He tells them plainly his views on the great questions of the day Mr. Wilson does nothing but cry out, “ Oh, I support her Majesty’s loyal opposition, in spite of the fact pa- ‘lctll to all, that the opposition are united only to agree to differ, an- other cliurgc brought against Col. Reresfortl is. that he falsifies the ace non of the opposition.” The Colo- nel stated that the opposition have aoaniloned Representation by P0- pulation; and at this very meeting one of the. Grits. Mr. Boullbce, stated that Federation was ilow to he the question ; and as if still fur- ther to prove. that the Colonel was true, and the Globe thc Munchau- sen, Mr. Wilson himself in the Globe report stated that “it was idle to talk of this question, as we. should never get it till there was a change, and then we need care very little about it.” Does not this prove that Representation is, as the Colo- nel stated, abandoned ? The Globe then concludes, that because his re- port is wilfully falsified to put the. Colonel in a false position, there- fore he [the Colonel] is stupid and ignorant, when the fact is that the Colonel is honest, and his straiglitfortvard langu- age is plain and uiiiiiistakeable.-- But it does not suit the Globe to have it so; therefore it faISifies re- ports, puts language into the. Colo- nel’s month which he never uses, and then rates hiiii upon his stupi-V dity, when instead thereof the Globe should he, as it is by all holi- cst itteii,condcmned for its wretched perversions. O COLONEL BERESFORD AND ADAM WILSON. So the election for North York comes oll next Wednesday and Thursday, the lltli and I2th insts., such is the official announcement. As the time is short it will be well for the electors to (It-teimine quickâ€" ly on the man. As private indi. viduale. we believe, they are both unexceptionable, therefore we must judge of them by the. pl'lnctplel enunciated in their respective ad- dresses, Colonel Boresford comes forward openly and manly; l-a comes before the clean \' me an in~ l dependent rnan,thom no party tics will shacklc'pr delinquencies blind ; be supportij Represt-niailon by Population’,_a_‘ Federal Union, and our Common. Schools; he. is oppOsed to» Dissolution Sep‘crate Schools, and. to’bcmg. the pliant supporter ol'any one party. This is as it should UL‘. We want men to tell us pltziilply arid plainly what they are. The Colonel. has done this, iii his address will be found no. ambiguous generalities which may rue-nit cvi-tything or nothing No! Like an honest titan, speaking to hottest yttutlt‘lt, ljic tltils, Willi his. Opinions and course without any beating about the bush. ' ’ Let us now glance at Mr. Wil- son 3 address. ' What a contrast ; one Would imagine that he had taken lessons from I‘alieyrand, who, when asked the. Use of words, rel. plied: “ to Conceal one’a thoughts.” rte (Mr. Wilson) says that be ad- vocates the policy of the Conven- tion. Will he be kind enough '0 state firstlwhut that policy is .7 the Grits themselves dispute 'upon it. Again, he states that he is an earn- est advocate of economy. pray who isnot? Except the Grits, we know ofnonc so extravagant; as witness their Federal Union Scheme. In- deed, Mr. \Vilson’s address through- out, ls lawyer likeâ€"being incan- ingless' and aiiiilesswtis a sham. Y‘t’c hope the clecmrs of North York will have Sense enough to prefer a straightforward tunnel-it neighbor to a tricky lawyer, who mocks lllt‘lll by issuing an address without a meaning and (lev-oid of honesty, as an expression of his views, Truly his political ideas are in a, Scotch iiiist, if this ad- dress is the exponent of his politi- Cal principles. \Ye therefore urge. upon the electors to work and elect the local candidate, Colonel Heres- ford ._ NOMINA'l‘lON .‘I'I‘ NEW- MARKER On Wednesday last, the 4th inst, the nomination of a candidate for North York was lit-Id at Newâ€" i‘narkel. There were nearly a thousand persons presan Moved by EM GORAM, seconded by 'l‘uos. 'l‘vscu, that Mr Adam Wilson is a fit and proper person to. represent NUI‘li York, in the room of the late lamented Mr, I‘Iartinan. Moved. by Mr. D. JEFFnEx, seconded by Mr. A. BOUL'I‘BEE‘. that Mr. Wm. Macdongall, M.P., be nominated to represent North York. Mtix'edW‘er“ J. WASLEY, seconded by CAPT. ARMSTRONG, that Col. Beresford be nominated as a fit and proper person to repre- sent North York in Parliament, in the room of Mr. Hartman. Mr. THOMAS - Ysozv said that he supported Mr. Wilson because he understood that he was a thorough opponent of the. present adminis- tration. The present. Government had given $600,000.000 of debts to the Province. Now, Mr. Wilson went in for ictrencllm-ent; he would not let the Lower Cana- dians rulc Upper Canada. We had to pay their debts, which was mos-t unfair; therefore be hoped that the people would unite and put Adam Wilson; at the head of the poll CAPT. AnMS'rnosz would vote lor Col. Bureafoi‘d becausie lie was a resident farmer amongst them, and because he. came forward asan independent munâ€"mime who would vote against the present Govern- ment when he found them wrong, and Would thit‘ with the opposition whenever they brought forward any good measure. This was the kind- of man. We wanted a man who could not be brought,not a ltricky or wily lawyer, but a plain honest farmer, whose every wish was identical with theirs. (Hear, hear. applause and biases.) The people did not want the mayor of Toronto to i‘iiisrepresent them ; in- deed no man could honestlv fulfill boih offices. They were antagon- istic to each other. Brown was a traitor to his principles, as was proved by his taking men into his ministry whoiithe had Spent a life time in abusing. Representation by Population George Brown had abandoned. Col. Burcsford told them plurnply and plainly, as an honest man, what he would do.â€"â€"â€" His interests and theirs were idenâ€" tical. As an agriculturist, he knew the farmers wants. Did a lawyer know them? Not be, iii- dccd, nor cared for them either.â€" (Iinmense applause.) Every one knew that lawyers lo.ed fat jobs; and they would not'find Mr. Wil- son an exceptionâ€"therefbre he. hoped they would put Col. Bci‘es- ford at the. head of the poll. Mr. D. JEFFREY thought that Mr. Wilson was too simple a lawyer to successfully combat villainy, there- fore he Would prefer Mr. Mac- dougall, M.P.P., but if he woold ford; andéas there was no practical farmer brought forward, he should support Mr. Wilson, because he agreed. with him on; political subjects- _ ' Mr. BOULTBEE preferred Mr. Macdougall, M.P.P.. to Mr. Wilson, but .‘as Mr. Macdougall Would not ruh,,,,he should do his best to put Mr. Wilson at the. head of the poll. The present union was not satisfac- iory; Louver Canada was it dead weight on Upper Canada; she was continually plundering net. We were governed entirely. by aliens; that should be stopped. Represen- tation was not ol so much import- ance. as Federation. Mr. Wilson gave his adl'lcslunJu the. principles enumerated iii the Reform ConVcn- firm, and therefore he should give him his earliest support. Mr. YVILLSUN said thatthis was a very importa telcction, The Pro- vince was in u critcal stale. Great changes Wt-rc likely to. take place; a resident was not so. much Wanted as one who. would represent the poli- iioai feelings of the Riding. As the Union had. not worked well a new form of Government was re- quired. He thought the plan pro- posed at tho CniiVention was a. good One. Col. Beresford was neither one thing nortlie other; he (the Colonel) neither supported the Go- vernment nor the Opposition. As to the objection about his [Mn W’s.] being the Ma or (if 'I‘oronlo, that was 0 ap trap. If he had not been elected they would have used that as an argument against him He would not detain them this cold day, as he would have other opportunities of addressing them. He, lioWevc‘r, felt perfectly sure. that the people would place lllt‘ll at the head of; the Poll. Colonel Buitnsmnn on coming forward said: that be. heard nothing from Mr. Wilson worth answering; he had said nothing but that he would support the action of the Convention; he had said nothing about the taxation of tlic countrv , nothing about Seperatc Schools; nothing about Representation by Population ; not one word about the City. In fact,in \vas notorious that Mr. Wilson, as Mayor of“ tomato, Rid’iéng; he had no interest in the- Riding; his allergies and his inlet. ests are in T‘Ql'Olllt)-r--n0t in North York, Mr. \V‘ilson had! stated that he supported the present Opposition. Now it was a fact that some incin- berc of that party had been and were the strongest opponents-of Re- presentation by I’opulation, Mr. J. S. Macdonald, Thioaudcau, and others had called it a monster. and had frequently voted against it. On the principles of'Frce Trade or Pro- tection, Mr. "VIISOII had said noth- ing. Indeed, on every topic that was interesting to the electors of Noxlh York Mr. Wilson was en~ lirely silent. He (Colonel Berea- ford) had told them honestly in his address what he would and what he would not do. Did his oppoth ent do the same .7 No. He did notâ€"«he only told them that he was a Clear Grit to the backbone. Now he (Col Bcrcsftnd) was a lvanay of no party ; he had a mind of his own, and he had plainly told them. what that mind was. The. general taxation of the country (leiiiaiitlt-d inqoii-yâ€" he was prepared to give it his earnest attention. Free Trade he was decidedly in favor of. Mr. Wilson-had stated that he (Col. Bcrcsford) straddled the fence This was not true ; he was an inde- pendent ntzinwno Lawyerâ€"but an honest Farmer. His interest was ibeir’s. Mr. Wilson‘s was antagon- istic in every way; he was at “the lit-ad of a batch of Lawers. It was impossible for him to do justice to North York. WM. IWACDOUGAL, M.P.P. then followed suit, but as his a eech was merely the Globe rchashed: it il un- necessary to report it. . Dr. PYNE briefly and humourous- ly addressed the meetingâ€"giving some desperate home-thrusts to Mr. Wilson on the Champagne guzzle, and his being a folIOWer oft'nc Hon. Robert Baldwin. The Sheriffthen called for a show of hands, when there was a very small majority in fcvor of Mr. Wil- son. The Colonel demanded a poll and the meeting broke up.
