The Gov- ernment is already collecting in that direc- tion a force of 20,000 men. BRIG .LOSTâ€"SEVEN PERSONS :DIROWNEDâ€"â€"ONE SAVED. (From the New Haven Journal.) in the gale of Sunday last, which was qnttc severe on the Atlantic coast, the brig Mary pierce, Captain Clil’fOrd, from Bangor bound for this port, with a carao of lumber consigned to Messrs. .Pici‘cebbi. Rowland, was capsized about twelve miles East of Chatham Lights, Cape Cod. There were on board, the captain, mate, steward, four hands, and the captain’s son, an intelligent lad about seven years of age. This was at about nine o'clock in the forenoon, When the vessel capsized, she lay at first on her beam-ends, and while in this condition, the crew made endeavors to get out lumber for the purpose of making rafts, but before this could be accomplished she rolled entirely over. The captain and stewaid got to a boat leaving the mate and l the crew on the bottom of the brig and in the water. The mate, Frank Vat-iiiunis 2.1. years of age, and without family, was the billy. One known l0~lltltelbctiu~quelL Varnums-clung to the wreck, and kept tbejtmptain‘s child with bimluntilldhe poor . from the wreck. Pictures, furniture and the King’s Very large quantities of \Vheat, Bar- 3 \ .<.>:-‘~r s » \- . comrades were washed off or died from chill, the storm raging with great fury. Once. or twice he was washed from the wreck, but managed to sustain his hold till the British schooner Robert H. Dexter, , from Nova Scotia to this port, with plaster Of Paris, came to his rescue and: took him \Vhen taken off he was too much exhausted to speak, and had not fully recovered from his exposure when brought into this port dordny on the Rob ert H. Dexter. It is believed that all the rest of the crew were lost, as the sea Was running tOO high to allow the boat in which the captain and steward attempted to escape, to live any length of time.â€"â€"_Pa[â€" indium, 14th. ' Frank Varnums, the mate, is now at the Sailors Home in this-oily. He reports the crew to consist of Harris Darling of Seaport,‘Me, ; Charles Churchill of Stock- ton, Me,; F. Harding of Bangor, Me,; and a man of Dutch descent, name. not known. All these were lost. Captain Clifford and the steward are probably lOsl, unless picked up by some vessel. The captain’s son perished in the cold, and died in the arms of Varnums. . Varnums is-entirely destitute, without. hardly a rag to cover his back. He did all in his power to save his comrades, was twentyvfour hours (it the wreckâ€"rubbed the men when they became benumbedâ€" took his ovvn clothes off and placed them on the back of the captain’s son. If the vessel had not lumber in her hold, she would undoubtedly have gone down im- mediately with all on board. Varnums is now stopping at the Sailor’s Home, and is desirous of getting home, but is entirely without means. The brig belonged to parties in Bangor. It has made several trips to New Haven, and has been chartered for the West In- dies by New Haven firms, at which time she was a full rigged brig, having lately been altered to a hermaphrodite. This was the first Voyage under the command of the present captain. ‘h rattan Platform.

The room at the hotel being too small, the meeting was held under a shed belonging to the Primitive Methodist Chapel. There were about 100 persons present, not half of whom had votes, the rest being more boys and rabble, who acted in the most disOrderly manner.â€"-- The meeting was organised by calling Mr. John Harrison to the chairâ€"Mr. Allan acting as Se- cretary. Mr. Reesor spoke for about. an boy died from the exposure and was-wash 5 hour 0“ lhe grievances 0f Upper ed away. He kept his Place Wouthcwrock 'Canadas dwelling Strong” 0” [he by thrusting his knife into a worm eaten spot upon the keel, and “lidding on’ iconvc During the day one Lifter another of nisi Scignorial- Tenure question, but niently forgetting that George Brown had pledged himself to ad.- . , ., ‘ .--- * ' ' * ' g .. .-.,.v‘uâ€"‘ . ... z. ' g . -..». '-'-.“~’; , vocatc the very measure that the lpletely in the east 'lOng since'; in- Minislry had carried out; and whilst reiterating the 100 time’s told tale that we wereruled by Lower Canada, he forgeot? to mention that Geo. Brown. used these very Lower Canadians to defeat Mi. W'iiight’s bill. for the separation of York and Peel from 'l‘oronto, for judicial purposes; and whilst enu- merating the supposed sins Of the Ministry, he actually blamed them for measures passed before they came into power. But Mr. Reesor never touched the question of Re- presentation by Pupulnlion ; and though now so strongly advocating a Federal Union of Upper and Lower Canada, he did not enlighten us as to how he became a convert from Dissolution pure and simple, advocated by him as the only true remedy a few months since; and though he dwelt long on the ills of the Union, he did not choose to tell his hearers of the immense increase of wealth and comfort we have gained under the Union; and as to his joint authority scheme, we will only say that he was as vague and indefinite as possible. At the conclusion of the address, Mr. Reesor invited (as did also the chairman) any person lO‘ question him, but this Mr. Reesor's rowdies and boys effectually prevented ; and though Mr. Edwards, Mr. Macey and others tried to speak, they were not allowed to do so; and although several ineffectual at- tempts were made by the most re- spectable men in the neighborhood to gain a hearing for both sides, the rowdies and bOys, led on by some violent and unprincipled partizans, determined that none should speak but Mr. Reesor; indeed to describe the shameful conduct of these row- dies and boys, would baffle de- scription,â€"cat-calls, yelling, hiss- ing and cheering, were the only sounds heard at Mr. Reesor’s meeting after he had done speaking. But there was a cause for this. for by some means to us unknown, it had got bruited that Mr. Reesor was to be called to account for “ The Reesor Job,” and as the meet- ing was held in Mr. Marsh’s ward, ‘he was pressingly invited to attend, and did. so, being quite prepared to justify his course on this matteraud therefore this disturbance to prevent enquiry. Mr. Reesor stated to us, however, that he was no party to this disgraceful uproar, but though as in. duty bound we gladly excul- patc him, we cannot his friends,for they had power to prevent the row by adjourning to the hotel and adâ€" mitting none but voters,as the others behaved so disgrace-fully; besides, it is but two weeks since Mr. Perry held a meeting there, and the cour- tesy with which he and all his friends treated Mr. Reesor’s support- ers, should have ensured the same treatment. from Mr.Rcesor’s friends. However, such meetings will gain Mr. Perry many friends that be otherwise would not have had, as several Of Mr. Reesor’s strongest supporters came to us and expressed their indignation at the disgraceful scene, coming as it did after Mr. Perry’s meeting, where Opponents were treated with the courtesy of friends, A resolution (amid great mode of Settling Contested uproar) of csufidence in Nit. Ree- sor was pm, and 12 hands held up in favor Of; it inchd SO great was the noise, that scarcely any ODE? heard the resolution read; and bad the rowdies been kept quiet, and only voters allowed to hold up their hands. Mr. Perry would un- doubtedly had a majority. So much for Mr. Reesor’s first meeting in Markham. The Western Part of King’s Division. MR. REESOR’S CANVASS UNSUCCESSFUL. IT is a fact well known that Mr. Reesor is the nominee of the Grit Convention, solely because he was cute enough to pack the western portion Of it, for bad he not done so, the chances are that Mr. Farewell would have been the man, as Mr. Reesor cannot compare with that gentleman in ability ; for as a speaker be is nothing, and as to po- litics, the only authority he ever gives for the figures he quotes is, the Toronto Convention address ;2 forof the Public Accounts he knows no more than an infant,as has been abundantly proved during the can-s, vass; for it is admitted by even his' strongest. supporters, that he has not the talent requisite for the Office he aspires to ; and the only earthly reason you can get them to give for - their support for such a political ig- noramus is, “ Oh, he belongs to our party,” and we must support the party. As proof that our remaiks are true, we will give the result of his canvass m the western part of King’s Division. How he has boasted of being overwhelmingly strong, yet has his canvass proved an utterifailurc; whilst in the East he dare not meet Mr. Perry face to face alone, but has been obliged to run under the wiugtof Mr. Farewell, whom he chiseled out of the nomi- nation; for without the aid Of Mn. of plank laid on the bridge in the side road, ideed so afraid has he been to face er. Perry alone, he even requested ;M’r. Farewell to come and assist him in his tour west. In Scarboro’ he has received; the lcold shoulder; and. at one of his meetings be had to resort to the dodge of letting Mr. Perry’s friends depart under the impressron that no vote would be taken At Richmond Hill, though he held his meetingin the smallest room that could be got, and: endeavored to pack it With his own friendsâ€"yet. even at his own :meeting he was beaten by a very large majority. From thence Mr. Reesor went to the 9th Of Vaughan, where a little rain falling. not a soul turned out to hear him, conse- quently there was no meeting. His next meeting was at Maple ; there he could not muster more than twenty persons to hear him, includ- ing boys and non-voters. Of voters there were not a dozen, and the only one to speak a good word for him, was an ambitious Schoolmaster, without a‘VOte, who did nothing but revile Mr. Perry because he would not fall down and worship William McDougalls master. From there he went to Weston Etobicoke, and there he managed to secure three votes ; and yet in his paper he says Etobicokc is stirring. At Burwick he was thoroughly unsuccessful, being beaten by twenty to one, which be well knew was thecase, (though he inverted a lying report of the meeting in his paper, as he did of the Richmond Hid meeting.)â€" At Stoutfville he got his own bro- tlier-in-law, McDougall, to oppose Mr. Perry; but we rather think he rued it ever since. At Victoria Square, on the 4.tli concessmn of Markham, so afraid were his friends of Opposition, that a set of unprincipled rowdies and boys were allowed to prevent any one from speaking who were oppOsed to Mr. Reesor; whilst at the very same place, two weeks previously, Mr. Perry held a meeting, invited Opposition, and treated his Oppo- nents with the courtesy of friends ; neither were any boys or ro‘vdies allowed tO interrupt them. #0!

The meeting was organised. by calling -â€"Helliwell, Esq., to the chair.

While the Prince was enâ€" gaged in his masonic work, Ensign Doyle, grandson of a soldier who lost his ltfc‘ at 'the battle of Queenston, held on one side of His Royal Highness the Union Jack carried by the 1st battalion York Volun- teers at the engagement.

No sooner Was the ceremony of layingj the stone completed, than His Royal Highness sought his carriage, proceeded at once to the Zimmerman, and embarked for Niagara.
